General Remarks

The devices described in this manual are signal generators that produce electromagnetic signals from 9 kHz up

to 40 GHz with a power from -90 dBm up to +25 dBm. The exact range depends on the chosen device model

and options. The devices can produce different types of modulations, such as AM, FM, PM Pulse or Chirp.

They can be used in a variety of applications such as research and development or manufacturing and testing

of electronic components.

Options, such as a 1URM Case, an intern rechargeable battery, a GPIB interface or different types of power

range extensions can be added.

Data Connections

The devices may only be connected to a network or a computer by using a shielded LAN cable. Unless shorter

lengths are prescribed, a maximum length of 3 m must not be exceeded for the LAN and the USB connection.

Signal Connections

In general, all connections between the signal generator and another device should be made as short as

possible and must be well shielded. It is recommended to use a high-quality cable with low loss especially for

frequencies above 20 GHz.

Transportation

The devices must only be transported with the packaging supplied by the manufacturer. The device can be

lifted up or transported in any orientation.
