5 System Overview
The R&S SGS RF Source is a signal generator intended either for the generation of
IQ-modulated signals or as a pure local oscillator (LO) source in the frequency range of
1 MHz to 12.75 GHz.
Optimized for use in automated test equipment (ATE), the instrument offers very fast
settling times in an exceptionally small formfactor and low power consumption. The
R&S SGS can be equipped optionally with an active electronic step attenuator, a high
stability reference oscillator and LO connectors for coupling multiple generators to a
common LO source.
5.1 Setups for Instrument Control
The R&S SGS is an instrument designed for the automated test equipment (ATE)
needs. To maintain the small size, the instrument is not equipped with a display and
hence additional equipment is required to control the instrument.
This section provides an overview of the possible configuration setups for controlling
the R&S SGS.
5.1.1 Manual Operation from the R&S SGMA-GUI
The following example represents a basic configuration of the R&S SGS, operated
manually by the configuration software R&S SGMA-GUI. The configuration software is
installed on a remote PC and controls several instruments. The instruments are con-
nected to the remote PC over different remote control interfaces. Any combination of
the used interfaces is possible.
