TEST & MEASUREMENT How to Select an Analog Signal Generator The signal generator is one of the most flexible tools for a variety of applications. Rohde & Schwarz T oday's microwave and wireless communications market is expanding at an incredible rate. Along with this growth comes an increasing need for test equipment, such as an analog signal generator, that can help verify the performance of devices and systems. The signal generator's wide frequency range, high output power, and variety of modulations make it a flexible tool for a broad scope of applications. Signal generators with a minimum frequency of 9 kHz permit applications in Electromagnetic Compatibility or EMC measurements. Frequency coverage up to 12.75 GHz covers ISM bands as well as all important mobile radio bands. Microwave signal generators may cover or support frequencies up to 20 GHz, 40 GHz, and even 110 GHz. This white paper provides an overview of analog signal generators including their key specifications, modulation capabilities, and applications. Careful considerations have to be taken into account when evaluating specifications and the functionality required for the application the generator will be used for. Additional considerations should include future needs and usability.
