Product overview
The R&S®SGT100A is an RF vector signal generator with an integrated baseband generator, optimized for production lines and automated test. Its RF chain is designed for the fastest frequency and level setting times, while multisegment waveform mode on the baseband side lets the user switch between test signals almost instantly. Compact as it is, the R&S®SGT100A keeps excellent RF characteristics: outstanding modulation accuracy, frequency response and level linearity. A high output level compensates losses inside the test system, and low power consumption reduces heat dissipation in the rack. Its modular architecture is easy to service and can be upgraded in the field, keeping the total cost of ownership low.
