Generators/Sources

Tektronix offers the AWG70000 Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator for design, testing, and operations of complex components, systems, and experiments. With high sample rate, signal fidelity, waveform memory, and up to 50 GS/s and 10-bit vertical resolution, the generator delivers the industry's best signal stimulus solution for easy generation of ideal, distorted, and real-life signals.

The VFCG-HD1 is a fully integrated video clock generator which provides synchronous High Definition (HD) and Standard Definition (SD) output clocks for the various scanning formats. The device synchronizes to the standard input reference clock required by SMPTE274, SMPTE296, NTSC, or PAL systems.

The Model 685 is the world's fastest arbitrary waveform generator with industry-leading flexibility, speed, and power levels that allows users the widest range of modulation and creator options. It can be used for generating a complex pulse train, a series of radar pulses, pulsed RF signals with impairments, Gaussian pulses, multi-level pulses, double pulses for IGBT/Mosfet experiments, or pulses for advanced research and quantum computing.

Analog Devices offers the ADF5610 microwave wideband synthesizer with an integrated VCO. This device allows implementation of fractional-N or Integer N phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers when used with an external loop filter and an external reference frequency. The wideband microwave voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) design allows frequencies from 57 MHz to 14,600 MHz to be generated with an output frequency ranging from 7,300 MHz to 14,600 MHz.

The R&S^®SMW200A is the vector signal generator for the most demanding applications. As a result of its flexibility, performance and intuitive operation, it is a perfect tool for generating complex, digitally modulated signals of high quality.

The R&S BTC broadcast test center from Rohde & Schwarz provides a complete testing environment for nearly all audio, video and multimedia applications – in a single device. The RF reference signal generator generates RF signals for all global TV and broadcasting standards and simulates transmissions. The generator can also internally analyze the audio/video functions of DUTs in realtime. The modular design provides a high degree of scalability, allowing the R&S BTC to be configured for any customer requirement.

In-vehicle systems (IVS) are designed to connect to a public safety answering point when an automobile is an accident. They transmit a minimum set of data to emergency personnel that includes the vehicle’s GPS coordinates. Rohde & Schwarz recently developed a setup for manufacturers of these automatic in-vehicle systems (IVS) for reliability testing.  

Tektronix's TSG4100A Series of RF Vector Signal Generators with true DC to 2 GHz, 4 GHz, or 6 GHz, and up to 200 MHz modulation bandwidth, support both analog and vector signal generation. The series comes standard with analog modulation.
