100 kHz to 12.75, 20 or 40 GHz Agile Ultra-low Phase Noise Signal Generator
The APLCXX is an agile ultra-low phase noise signal generator from 100 kHz to 12.75 (APLC12), 20 (APLC20), or 40 GHz (APLC40) with excellent harmonic and spurious performance.
The signal source is available as mountable module or in a compact enclosure with display and front panel control.
Using the FCP – fast control port, frequency and amplitude the unit can be switched within less than 10 µs.
The multi-channel version APLCXX-X is available in 1, 2, 3 or 4 channel configurations in a standard 1HU 19’’ rack-mountable enclosure.
The APLCXX is an agile ultra-low phase noise signal generator from 100 kHz to 20 (APLC20), or 40 GHz (APLC40). Excellent harmonic and spurious performance in combination with fast switching make the instruments very well usable in labs or production facilities.
The main features of these RF and microwave signal generators (RF and mw signal sources) are:
- OCXO <30 ppb/yr aging
- wide and accurately levelled output power range
- fast switching of <10 µs (option FS)
- sweep, trigger functions and user-programmable external reference frequency between 1 to 250 MHz
- low power consumption and low power dissipation
- various mechnical housing forms: portable / bench-top, 19″ rack-mountable, etc.
- local front panel operation, PC controlled local or remote operation through the communication ports USB, Ethernet and optionally GPIB, and by using GUI Software or ATE commands (SCPI 1999)
