Analog Signal Generator MG3740A
- Analog Signal Generator supporting frequencies of 100 kHz to 2.7/4/6 GHz
- High-purity signal source for testing analog radio
- Built-in AM/FM/ΦM/Pulse modulation function [Standard]
- Two RF outputs using Dual-RF [Option]
- Expansion to narrowband digital modulation signal generator [Option]
Anritsu's Analog Signal Generator MG3740A has excellent RF specifications, including SSB phase noise and output level as well as versatile modulation functions (AM/FM/ΦM/Pulse). The MG3740A is the ideal solution for high-purity signal source for testing analog radio Rx characteristics. Moreover, adding the digital modulation option supports generation of narrowband digital modulation signals.
