R&S®AFQ100A I/Q Modulation Generator
Meeting new challenges in baseband signal generation
Features
System optimization
However, even unrivaled baseband performance does not guarantee a flawless RF signal, since impairments can affect the signal quality by the time the signal is output. The R&S® AFQ100A features a variety of functions to minimize the effect of these impairments, including its capability to compensate for the magnitude and phase of a non-ideal frequency response (e.g. of an external I/Q modulator) by means of settable filters. In this case, data can be measured by an external program and transferred to the R&S® AFQ100A. During output, a matching inverse filter is taken into account in the signal, achieving a linear frequency response and optimum sideband suppression throughout the entire system.
