Overview

The new RF and microwave signal generators use direct digital synthesis (DDS) for high-resolution frequency hopping or phase continuous sweeping for fixture and device characterization applications. They are ideal for clocking nonstandard sample rates, such as WCDMA signals at baseband or intermediate frequency (IF). With these versatile signal generators, you can perform analog and digital modulation through the onboard DDS circuit, which gives you frequency modulation and frequency-shift keying for applications such as bit-error rate testing, antenna testing, or even keyless entry. Amplitude modulation is also available through on-off keying.
