Aeroflex's 3020C PXI Modular Digital RF Signal Generator, a new 3GHz variant to its PXI signal generator line, covers the frequency range of 1MHz to 3GHz—supporting applications in high frequency (HF), very high frequency (VHF) and ultra high frequency (UHF) bands. Ideal for RF engineers performing communications test, the new 3020C has wideband width modulation up to 90MHz for broadband communications standards or multicarrier test applications as well as RF output power from -120dBm to +6dBm.
The 3020C boasts excellent frequency and level settling times for high speed test applications and a built in dual-channel arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) for supplying complex modulated signals. The 3020C AWG has 0.5GB of onboard memory supporting up to 128Mx16bit I and Q samples. The 3020C can perform high-speed switching in less than 250µs when in list mode, minimizing test set up time in automated systems and improving production throughput.
The 3020C is a PXIe (Hybrid compatible module) that can be fitted to PXI chassis' supporting standard cPCI, PXI-1 or PXI Hybrid slots.
