High-precision output level
Microwave signal generators are frequently used for calibrating test receivers. This task calls for a highly accurate and stable output level settable with high resolution. This is ensured by a high-precision, frequency-response-compensated level control for levels higher than –20 dBm. The setting range can be extended to –130 dB with the optional RF Attenuator
Typical output power versus frequency including a mechanical step attenuator for
Fast setting time for frequency and level
The synthesizer concept allows very fast setting times. This is an important feature which makes the
Analog ramp sweep option
The analog ramp sweep mode corresponds to the analog sweep of classic sweep generators except that the sweep is fully synchronized over the complete range. In this way, the excellent frequency accuracy of digital step sweeps is achieved on the whole, and this at much higher sweep rates of min. 600 MHz/ms at frequencies >2 GHz. In conjunction with scalar network analyzers or suitable spectrum analyzers, realtime adjustment of microwave filters can be performed, for example. To mark important frequency ranges such as filter bandwidths or the position of attenuation poles, the
