• IQ modulator with 300 MHz RF bandwidth
• Up to 250 MS/s dual channel arbitrary waveform generator with memory options up to 4 GBytes (1G Sample)
• 3GPP ACLR of -71 dB
• Embedded IQCreator® waveform generation tool
• Low SSB phase noise: -135 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz
• Fast frequency settling time: 100 µs
• List mode with AWG waveform sequencing
• Generic modulation as standard
• Multi Technology waveform generation capability

With a comprehensive range of features and options, the SGD meets the needs for a general-purpose signal generator while offering the high performance required of demanding, critical receiver measurements or rapid manufacturing. The wide bandwidth IQ modulator is complemented by an embedded version of IQCreator®. Aeroflex's powerful waveform creation tool. This enables a user to design waveform files from simple generic or system specific templates as well as convert user designed waveforms into compatible formats.
Waveforms designed in IQCreator® can include signal impairments and time markers to aid sychronization. Graphical displays of the waveform FFT, vector and constellation diagrams, etc. can be viewed and exported for use in other Windows™ applications.
