MG37020A
Fast Switching Microwave Signal Generator |
| |
|
| |

Whether
you need radar and EW signal simulation or the flexibility to develop
your own faster tests for data intensive applications, you need only
one instrument — the MG37020A.

The
MG37020A fast-switching microwave signal generator utilizes an advanced
VCO-based hardware architecture to achieve best-in-class frequency switching
speed of 100 µsec per point. This makes the MG37020A the “ideal
microwave signal generator” for applications where fast frequency
switching speed is a critical parameter.

- Frequency coverage,
in a single output: 10 MHz to 20 GHz; 10 MHz coverage optional
- 0.001 Hz frequency
resolution standard
- Standard output
power: +17 dBm at 20 GHz
- High output power
option: +23 dBm at 20 GHz
- Low phase noise:
(10 GHz) -92 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset
- Low harmonics and
spurious
- CW and step sweep
modes

The innovative VCO-based architecture integrates
advanced RF hardware, enhanced computing, and digital interfaces that minimize
command and trigger delays. The result is that the MG37020A has switching
speed an order of magnitude faster than comparable YIG-based signal generators
while maintaining low phase noise of typically -101 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset
at 10 GHz. The MG37020A’s overall performance makes it ideal for data
intensive applications, such as antenna test, satellite payload test, and
terrestrial microwave link testing. The increased throughput and lower cost
of test created by the fast switching speed also make the MG37020A excellent
for high volume component manufacturing, such as RFIC and MMIC testing.
