Anritsu’s MG3690C RF/microwave signal generator is the latest in its family of synthesisers that generate signals from 0.1Hz to 70GHz.

Baseband, IF, RF, and microwave signals can be produced from a single instrument to maximize equipment use and reduce cost of test.

Options set a new level for low phase noise of -115dB/Hz at 20GHz and10kHz offset.

The MG3690C can be used to generate narrow pulses down to 10ns to emulate a variety of signals.

Amplitude levelled pulses down to 100ns can be generated to minimise amplitude drift over time and temperature for tight test margins.

Amplitude-levelled pulses also eliminate the need for a CW mode during frequency change and minimize the chances of the DUT becoming damaged, said the supplier.
