Hittite Microwave has launched the HMC-T2100B, the first battery powered 10MHz to 20GHz portable synthesized signal generator.

For use in automated test and measurement environments, research, and development laboratories, the generator delivers up to +27dBm of CW output power in 0.1dB steps over a 40dB dynamic range.

Harmonic rejection is better than -39dBc at 1GHz and spurious products are better than -65dBc at 10GHz.

Phase noise is -113dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset from 1GHz with insignificant deviation over the temperature range of 0 to +35°C.

10MHz to 20GHz is covered with a frequency resolution of 10kHz, 0.1dB power resolution, and 300µs switching speed.
Internal rechargeable batteries allow for 4 hours of continuous operation.
Inside are the firm's own MMICs.

The generator has USB, GPIB and Ethernet interfaces.

An installation disc includes all of the drivers required to remotely control the device as well as a GUI compatible with Windows XP or Vista.

User control is facilitated via pull down menus that allow programming of single or swept modes in frequency and/or power.
