Aim-TTi TGR2050 series RF signal generators

Aim-TTi has released the TGR2050 series of next-generation radio frequency (RF) signal generators, featuring a small footprint and lightweight design that should benefit electronic design and test engineers.

The TGR2051 and TGR2053 RF signal generators provide good performance with high signal purity, high-frequency accuracy and stability, a large signal amplitude range, output power levels of -127 to +13 dBm, low phase noise, and fast amplitude and/or frequency sweeps. Extensive and flexible analog and digital modulation capabilities make the signal generators suitable for research and development, test and service work.

A sweep function enables signals of varying frequency and/or amplitude to test a full range of input conditions quickly and efficiently. Sweeps can be set to run in either direction, with linear or logarithmic spacing. Alternatively, list mode (accessible within the instrument or from remote interfaces) can be used to analyse the response at set frequencies and amplitude.

A TGR-U01 option adds an extensive range of digital modulations: FSK, GFSK, MSK, GMSK, HMSK, 3FSK, 4FSK, PSK, ASK and OOK. Built-in NRZ patterns include Square wave, 7, 9, 11 and 15-bit PRBS. Digital modulation capabilities also include advanced filtering. External digital modulation signals can be applied to the carrier waveform via the MOD in/out on the rear panel.

Both models offer good functionality with intuitive touch screen operation. Advanced remote-control connectivity accommodates sophisticated automated systems and compatibility with Aim-TTi’s previous RF instruments, ensuring simple integration with existing systems.
