The modern signal generator has evolved into a complex, expensive instrument. To provide an alternative for many test scenarios in which only a high-quality CW source is required, dBm introduces the SSG synthesised CW signal generator. This instrument focuses on the basics: simplicity, connectivity, and excellent RF performance in a small and low cost solution. Sharing resources within a lab or facility often means carrying test equipment around a crowded lab. The SSG is so small and light it can be held with one hand, yet it has enough mass to stay planted on the workbench with heavy coax cables attached to it.
The SSG gives up little or nothing in terms of performance to other generators which can be more than twice the price. Phase noise performance is excellent, and switching speed is much faster than YIG based signal generators.
Front panel control of the frequency and amplitude is achieved with a combination of buttons and a rotary knob. Step size is determined by positioning the cursor at the desired digit and turning the knob, or an arbitrary step size can be set independently for the frequency and amplitude. |
