4GHz rf signal generator from Stanford Research Systems

Expanding its portfolio of high specification test and measurement systems, Stanford Research Systems (SRS) has announced the availability of the SG384, a 4GHz rf signal generator.

The device has a dc to 4GHz frequency range with 1mHz resolution and AM, FM phase and pulse modulation. According to SRS, it also includes an 'excellent' -116 dBc/Hz phase noise at 20kHz offset from 1GHz, full octave frequency sweeps and an oven controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) timebase. Options include clock outputs, analogue I/Q inputs and Rubidium timebase. Remote operation of the SG384 is supported with GPIB, RS232 and Ethernet interfaces and according to the company, all instrument functions can be controlled and read over any of the interfaces.
