New MG37020A Fast-Switching Microwave Synthesizer Features High Output Power, Low Phase Noise, Enhanced Pulse Modulation and Ultra-stable Phase Track Option – MORGAN HILL , CA – October 9, 2007 – Anritsu Company introduces the MG37020A fast-switching microwave signal generator that utilizes an advanced VCO-based hardware architecture to achieve best-in-class frequency switching speed of 100 sec per point. The fast switching speed, and a number of other high-performance specifications and design advantages make the MG37020A well suited for integration into automated test systems used in defense signal simulation and manufacturing ATE where minimum test time and maximum throughput is critical.
The innovative VCO-based architecture integrates advanced RF hardware, enhanced computing, and digital interfaces that minimize command and trigger delays. The result is that the MG37020A has switching speed an order of magnitude faster than comparable YIG-based signal generators while maintaining low phase noise of typically -101 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset at 10 GHz. The MG37020A’s overall performance makes it ideal for data intensive applications, such as antenna test, satellite payload test, and terrestrial microwave link testing. The increased throughput and lower cost of test created by the fast switching speed also make the MG37020A excellent for high volume component manufacturing, such as RFIC and MMIC testing.
The MG37020A covers a frequency range of 10 MHz to 20 GHz in 0.001 Hz steps. It features +23 dBm high output power at 20 GHz, and high performance pulse modulation to conduct highly accurate signal simulation of pulsed signals.
