This next-generation USB-powered Vector Signal Generator (VSG) is engineered to bridge the gap between laboratory-grade precision and the portability required for modern field operations, RD and T&M. By offering a combination of low phase noise and expansive modulation capabilities, the SGA-60 provides a formidable alternative to traditional signal generators, setting a new benchmark for performance-to-size ratio in the sub-6 GHz market.
The SGA-60 series represents a significant advancement in high-performance vector signal generation, engineered to provide a seamless balance between laboratory-grade precision and commercial accessibility. Covering an expansive frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz, the SGA-60 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern wireless communication, aerospace, and education sectors. It offers a robust 100 MHz instantaneous bandwidth for complex wideband signal generation, complemented by 50 MHz of real-time streaming bandwidth, ensuring high-fidelity signal playback and continuous data throughput for sophisticated simulation environments.
Beyond its core specifications, the SGA-60 series is a versatile powerhouse capable of generating a diverse array of signal types. From standard Continuous Wave (CW) and traditional analog modulations (AM/FM) to advanced digitally modulated signals, the series provides engineers with a comprehensive toolkit for every stage of development. The inclusion of high-speed frequency and amplitude sweeps, as well as chirp signal generation, makes it particularly effective for radar testing and component characterization. By delivering these high-end capabilities at an affordable price point, the SGA-60 series democratizes precision RF testing, allowing labs and production facilities to scale their capabilities without the prohibitive costs usually associated with 6 GHz vector signal generators.
The hardware design focuses on flexibility and durability without compromising the intrument’s compact footprint. With a typicla output amplitude range of -100 dBm to +10 dBm, the SGA-60 can simulate everything from the weak signals found at a receiver’s edge to the robust signals required for amplifier characterization. Its USB-powered architecture allows for seamless integration into existing software-defined environments, offering a streamlined workflow that reduces setup time and equipment overhead. Whether deployed in a high-density lab environment or used for system integration, SGA-60 provides the stability and repeatability that professionals demand.
