Smallest standalone vector signal generator withintegrated baseband generator

Its space-saving design makes the R&S®SGT100A ideal for use in any test system. The compact R&S®SGT100A is a complete vector signal generator with a frequency range of up to 6 GHz and an integrated high-performance baseband generator. It can generate digital RF signals with an I/Q modulation bandwidth of up to 240 MHz in RF and supports all common digital standards.

The large memory depth of up to 1 Gsample allows long signal sequences and can also store many different signals to minimize switchover times. The multisegment waveform mode makes it possible to switch over between up to 100 different signals within microseconds. Should other additional test signals be required, the standard solid-state drive (SSD) speeds up reloading.

Fast frequency and level switchover to optimize production throughput

For automated tests, the time it takes to switch frequencies and levels is a key characteristic, especially when using the frequency and level to calibrate or characterize DUTs such as amplifiers. In addition to LAN and USB, the R&S®SGT100A features a PCIe interface for remote control to achieve maximum speed.

High output level to compensate for losses in the test system

Though compact in size, the R&S®SGT100A achieves a maximum output level of +22 dBm (typ.). Such a high level is important in a test syste to compensate for losses that arise in cabling and signal paths

Low power consumption for reduced heat dissipation and simplified thermal management within the system

The low 65 W power consumption cuts operating costs and reduces heat dissipation. Low heat dissipation simplifies the test system's thermal management and allows a high packing density for the generators.
