RF Signal Generators

DSG800

The DSG800 series covers output frequencies from 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz. The instruments provide maximum output power up to +20 dBm and low SSB phase noise -112 dBc/Hz, amplitude accuracy of +/- 0.5 dB, and frequency resolution of 0.01 Hz at any frequency. An oven-controlled crystal oscillator time-base option provides < 5 ppb temperature stability and < 30 ppb/year aging stability, the most accurate and stable timebase available in this class. The DSG800A models provide internal and external IQ Modulation support including FSK, QAM, and QPSK signals. Use the IQ modulation to emulate transmitted data sequences for receiver testing. For IoT and RF applications from design to debug the DSG800 series provides uncompromised RF signal generation capabilities at an unprecedented value.

Functions and Features

Complete AM/FM/u00d8M Analog Modulation

Complete AM/FM/u00d8M Analog Modulation

DSG800 provides a variety of analog modulation functions such as AM/FM/u00d8M, which is suitable for signal simulation requirements in various applications such as FM radio and wireless microphone.

Pulse Modulation

Pulse Modulation

It produces high quality pulse modulated signals with rise/fall times typically less than 10 ns and on/off ratios greater than 70 dB. Support for internal and external modulation. Built-in pulse generator can generate pulse sequence and output to the outside as a separate pulse generator

Low Phase Noise

Low Phase Noise

High signal purity, phase noise typical value <-112dBc/Hz@20kHz; better high-stability clock reference with better near-phase noise capability.

High Amplitude Accuracy

High Amplitude Accuracy

The output amplitude accuracy is typically 0.5 dB, providing users with accurate excitation signals

Wide Range of High Power Output

Wide Range of High Power Output

The maximum output amplitude is +13dBm (nominal value), and can be set to +20dBm to meet the nonlinearity test of the amplifier.

Amplitude Stability

Amplitude Stability

Reliable repeatability provides engineers with sufficient test confidence that the 72-hour output amplitude variation is less than 0.02dB
