For the very latest specifications visit www.aeroflex.com With its level of performance, this compact general purpose signal generator delivers outstanding value for money. Signal Sources 2023A/B, 2025 Signal Generators • Wide frequency coverage:- 9 kHz to 1.2 GHz (2023A) 9 kHz to 2.05 GHz (2023B) 9 kHz to 2.51 GHz (2025) • Excellent spectral purity • Linear and logarithmic sweep mode • RPP to 50 W • Sine, triangular and square wave two tone modulation source • GPIB and RS-232 remote control • Comprehensive modulation:- AM, FM, M , Pulse & FSK • 3.9 kHz Bessel filtered FSK • Optional +25 dBm RF output • Optional internal pulse generator • SINAD Measurement Option The 2023A/B and 2025 signal generators are portable and lightweight, offering carrier frequencies from 9 kHz to 1.2 GHz (2023A), 9 kHz to 2.05 GHz (2023B) and 9 kHz to 2.51 GHz (2025) with a wide choice of modulation modes. The instruments are suitable for a wide range of applications in laboratory, production, and maintenance environ ments. The GPIB facility allows the unit to be included in ATE systems for faster manufacturing throughput. An RS-232 interface is provided with a command set in common with the GPIB to simplify remote control of the signal generator in basic test systems or via a modem. Operation Front panel control is achieved through a flexible combination of keyboard selection, cursor selection and a rotary control in conjunction with a clear and intuitive menu presentation on a bright panel display. This ensures the instrument can be set up into any desired mode of operation quickly and simply. Frequency Selection Frequency resolution of 1 Hz across the complete frequency range of 1.2 GHz, 2.05 GHz or 2.51 GHz ensures adequate resolution to characterize narrow band communica tion systems and components. RF Output Peak RF output levels of between +13 dBm and -140 dBm can be set accurately with a resolution of 0.1 dB. An attenuator hold function allows control of the RF output without introducing RF level dropouts from the step attenuator to facilitate testing of receiver squelch systems, and during EMI investigations. A RF level limit can be set to limit the output power to avoid damage to external, power sensitive devices. RF level offsets up to ±15 dB can be applied to counter the effects of test system losses etc. A carrier ON/OFF key is provided to completely disable the output. 50W Protection An electronic trip protects the generator output against reverse power of up to 50 W from a source with a VSWR of up to 5:1, preventing damage to output circuits if a RF transmitter or DC power supply is accidentally applied to the output connector. This feature contributes to long service life and low cost of ownership.
