10 MHz–15 GHz RF Signal Generator
The ETL Systems SG15-840002-S5S5 is a miniature RF signal generator covering 10 MHz to 15 GHz for laboratory, engineering and RF test applications. It provides continuous and swept output modes, programmable frequency and output level, and remote control through USB or Ethernet.
Frequency resolution is 1 Hz below 6 GHz and 10 Hz from 6 GHz to 15 GHz. The internal reference uses a 100 MHz OCXO specified at 50 ppb. An SMA reference port supports automatic input/output detection and switching, with a 100 MHz reference output or a software-selectable 10 MHz or 100 MHz external reference input.
The unit is supplied with control software, a USB-to-mini-USB cable and an AC power adaptor. Non-volatile memory automatically retains the most recent settings.
Key Features
- Wide frequency coverage from 10 MHz to 15 GHz.
- Fine frequency adjustment: 1 Hz below 6 GHz and 10 Hz from 6–15 GHz.
- Specified output power of +13 dBm from 10 MHz–13 GHz and +10 dBm from 13–15 GHz.
- Internal 100 MHz OCXO reference specified at 50 ppb.
- External 10 MHz or 100 MHz reference input and 100 MHz reference output.
- SMA female RF output and reference connectors.
- USB virtual COM port and Ethernet control.
- Continuous and sweep modes with manual triggering through the GUI.
- ASCII command support and graphical software for controlling multiple units.
