Performance capabilities at an entry level price for RF Signal Sources
1.5 GHz to 3.6 GHz sources capable of +20 dBm with OCXO timebase and pulse and IQ modulation options
The DSG800(A) series covers output frequencies from 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz. The instruments provide maximum output power up to +20 dBm and low SSB phase noise -112 dBc/Hz, amplitude accuracy of +/- 0.5 dB, and frequency resolution of 0.01 Hz at any frequency. An oven-controlled crystal oscillator time-base option provides < 5 ppb temperature stability and < 30 ppb/year aging stability, the most accurate and stable timebase available in this class. For IoT and RF applications from design to debug the DSG800(A) series provides uncompromised RF signal generation capabilities at an unprecedented value.

DSG800A Series RF Signal Generator
The DSG800 series covers output frequencies from 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz. The instruments provide maximum output power up to +20 dBm and low SSB phase noise -112 dBc/Hz, amplitude accuracy of +/- 0.5 dB, and frequency resolution of 0.01 Hz at any frequency. An oven-controlled crystal oscillator time-base option provides < 5 ppb temperature stability and < 30 ppb/year aging stability, the most accurate and stable timebase available in this class.
The DSG800A models provide internal and external IQ Modulation support including FSK, QAM, and QPSK signals. Use the IQ modulation to emulate transmitted data sequences for receiver testing. For IoT and RF applications from design to debug the DSG800 series provides uncompromised RF signal generation capabilities at an unprecedented value.
