Description

The DSG830 RF signal generator offers standard AM/FM/ØM analog modulation, as well as options for pulse modulation with a maximum frequency 3 GHz. Featuring a high signal purity with phase noise measuring <-105 dBc/Hz @ 20 kHz (typical) and a wide output range of -110 dBm to +13 dBm, the DSG800 RF signal generator has an optional pulse modulation with an on/off ratio of up to 70dB, with optional pulse train generator available. The DSG800 series also has an amplitude accuracy of < 0.5 dB (typical). Beside the analog output the devices include a USB-Host- and a USB-device and a LAN interface.

The DSG800 series is a high-performance RF signal generator. It provides comprehensive modulation solutions such as: Pulse modulation (optional) with customizable pulse train (optional) and standard AM/FM/FM analog modulation. All modulation schemes support internal and external modulation sources. In addition, to meet the demands of production environments, the DSG800 is designed to be both, highly stable and reliable.

The DSG800 series also features a clear user interface, small size and light weight. It is easy to operate and can output stable, precise and pure signals. It is an ideal tool for various fields such as communication, computers, instrumentation, R&D, education, production and maintenance.

Available Options

These options are not included with the device and have to be purchased separately.

Pulse Modulation (DSG800-PUM)

This software-option enables the pulse modulation feature of the DSG800 series devices. This option can be installed by the user.

Pulse Train Generator (DSG800-PUG)

With this software-option it is possible to edit a pulse train list. Each pulse train consists of a specified number of pulses with a userdefineable on- and off-time resulting in a pulse train dwell time. Multiple pulse trains can be added to this list to form special pulse sequence. This option can be installed by the user.

High Stable OCXO Reference Clock (OCXO-B08)

This hardware option adds a temperature controlled, oven heated and highly stable 10 MHz reference clock to the DSG800 devices. With this option the temperature stability rises from < 2 parts per million to < 5 parts per billion. This option can be installed by the user.
