2 Welcome
The R&S SGS is a signal generator intended either for the generation of IQ-modulated
signals or as a pure local oscillator (LO) source.
Optimized for use in automated test equipment (ATE), the instrument offers fast settling
times in an exceptionally small form factor and low power consumption. The R&S SGS
can be equipped optionally with an active electronic step attenuator, a high stability ref-
erence oscillator and LO connectors for coupling multiple generators to a common LO
source.
2.1 Key features
The key features of the R&S SGS include the following:
●
Compact size and low power consumption
●
Remote connection via PCI Express, minimizing the setup time
Alternatively, LAN or USB connections available
●
Coherent LO input and output connectors, also usable as MIMO input/output and
phase coherent I/Q demodulation
●
Broadband analog input for vector modulation (I, Q)
●
Linux operating system
●
Graphical user interface R&S SGMA-GUI to set up and control one or more
R&S SGS instruments simultaneously from one remote computer, available for
Windows and Linux systems
