Summary of NEW RIGOL DSG3000B SERIES 6.5/13.6GHZ RF SIGNAL GENERATORS
The Rigol DSG3000B RF Signal Generator series offers high-frequency signal generation from 9kHz to 13.6GHz without needing external amplifiers. It features superior amplitude accuracy, low phase noise, and flexible modulation options including AM, FM, PhaseM, IQ, and pulse modulation. The unit supports both internal and external control via USB, LAN, or GPIB, with optional upgrades for enhanced frequency stability and advanced pulse capabilities.
Parts used in the Rigol DSG3000B RF Signal Generator:
- Internal reference clock (standard 2ppm)
- Optional 5ppb clock (OCXO-B08)
- 4.3 TFT LCD display
- Front panel menu keys and wheel control
- USB interface
- LAN interface
- GPIB interface
- Rack mount kit
- Digital-to-analog converters for I/Q baseband output
- Electronic attenuator
The DSG3000B RF Signal Generator series simplifies high power setup since an external amplifier is not needed. Engineers can generate more complex signals without additional hardware using the modulation schemes supplied in the DSG3000B with both internal and external IQ modulation capabilities.
Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the Rigol DSG3000B RF Signal Generator series, improving on the previous DSG3000 series, covering a frequency range of 9kHz to 6.5GHz or 13.6GHz and including IQ modulation variants. These HF signal sources have an amplitude accuracy of <0.5dB (typical) and a phase noise of less than -116dBc/Hz @ 20kHz. The output is specified from -120dBm to + 20dBm and can be set for a frequency range from 200MHz to 3.6GHz up to + 27dBm, or from 100kHz to 6.5GHz to -130dBm. The <2ppm standard frequency stability of the internal reference clock can be enhanced with an optional 5ppb clock. Standard modulations of AM/FM /PhaseM up to 3.6 GHz are provided with a frequency resolution of 0.01Hz. All modulations can be controlled by an internal or external source. The 4.3” TFT LCD with menu keys and logical front panel button/wheel control make for an easy to use instrument. USB and LAN are available as standard remote control interfaces, as is support for SCPI control commands.
The functionality of the signal generators can be expanded with three options: an oven-controlled quartz clock OCXO-B08 improves the temperature stability of the internal reference frequency from <2ppm to 5ppb. Also, pulse train generation DSG3000B-PUG and pulse modulation DSG3000B-PUM are available (usable up to 3.6GHz).
