I sometimes need a noise generator for testing equipment, and useful signals must often be mixed with the noise, such as when testing equipment designed to extract a clean signal from a contaminated ...

The behavior of analog circuits can often be characterized by sweeping their inputs with a signal going across a range of frequencies and then observing the output. These sweeps can be composed of ...

For spectrum analyzers lacking a tracking generator, this broadband RF noise source is affordable and will help measure a ...

Keithley Instruments has upgraded its RF-vector-signal-generator line with new capabilities that reduce signal-generation times and enhance signal quality. In contrast with competitive generators, ...

February 13, 2014. Aeroflex Ltd. has enhanced its S-Series signal generators (SGA and SGD) with improved phase noise and better RF level accuracy. At a carrier frequency of 1 GHz, phase noise is now ...

The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...

The new R&S SMB100B analog microwave signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz offers analog signal generation up to 40 GHz in the midrange class. This signal generator features a signal purity which ...

A random noise generator is pretty handy when working with music, and building one using a micro-controller can be pretty trivial. So it’s nice when someone comes along and builds it from a few analog ...

Stanford Research Systems recently introduced its SG380 series RF signal generators. The signal generators use a unique architecture (rational approximation frequency synthesis), which delivers ...
