Product overview
The R&S®SGS100A SGMA RF source is a high-performance RF signal generator designed around the needs of automated test systems. It works either as a CW source or, with I/Q modulation built in, as a vector signal generator, covering frequencies up to 12.75 GHz. The half-rack 1U chassis delivers a maximum output level of +22 dBm, and PCIe or Ethernet control gives the very fast setting speeds that high-throughput production demands. Its modular design keeps system integration flexible, while a wear-free electronic attenuator and a long calibration interval lower the overall cost of ownership and raise test reliability.
Key features
- The smallest fully integrated vector signal generator on the market: 1U × half rack saves system space
- Excellent RF performance with a maximum output level of typ. +22 dBm, enough to compensate setup losses
- Fast setting over PCIe / Ethernet, raising automated test throughput
- High linearity and repeatability for consistent test conditions
- Wear-free electronic step attenuator for long-term reliability (R&S®SGS-B26 option)
- A clean modular design shortens service time and reduces the risk of downtime
- A long calibration interval reduces routine maintenance cost
- Optional OCXO high-stability reference oscillator (R&S®SGS-B1) for improved frequency accuracy
- Supports phase coherent multichannel output/input applications (R&S®SGS-K90 option)
Typical applications
- Integration into automated test equipment (ATE) systems
- Signal generation and verification for digital communications systems
- Local oscillator (LO) applications
- Interference immunity testing against mobile radio standards
- Millimeter-wave upconversion systems (with the R&S®SGU100A)
- Characterization of aerospace and defense RF components
