Up to three fully functional signal
generators in one unit offering a unique solution for complex tests
on receivers, components and systems.
Signal Sources
2026A/B 10 kHz to 2.05/2.51 GHz MultiSource Generator
• Two or three high quality RF signal
generators
in a space efficient format
• Ideal for intermodulation and receiver
characterization
• Wide frequency coverage:-
10 kHz to 2.05 GHz (2026A)
10 kHz to 2.51 GHz (2026B)
• +24 dBm RF output for effective component
testing
• Support for an external signal
generator
• Application specific test modes simplify
measurement procedures
• User defined tracking between signal
sources
• Adjustable carrier phase to allow peaking
of three tone intermodulation
• Built-in switched combiner network
improves measurement uncertainty
• Optional GSM modulation for testing
multi-carrier power amplifiers
• Optional Bluetooth and GSM modulation
The 2026A/B are multiple source
generators
which offer two RF signal
generators in one box
with a third source available as an option. Each
source is a fully functional RF signal
generator
with AM, FM, ØM, 2FSK, 4FSK and pulse modulation
capability.
The 2026A/B are ideal for use in R&D and manufacturing where
there is a need for two or three combined sources for conducting
tests such as intermodulation and selectivity performance of
components and receiver assemblies.
To aid the user to undertake difficult test procedures simply and
without ambiguity, the 2026A/B family provide application-specific
modes of operation. Application modes include amplifier
two and three-tone intermodulation, receiver intermodulation
and receiver selectivity. A rotary control and up/down keys allow
easy modification of the selected parameters.
Measurement Accuracy
The use of a built in combiner, switches and cables eliminates
many of the measurement uncertainties introduced by connecting
together separate signal
generators. The 2026A/B family
thereby guarantees the level of intermodulation products introduced
during amplifier or receiver intermodulation testing.
All alignment processes, including the internal frequency standard
and the correction factors for the signal source RF paths,
are digitally derived so realignment can be undertaken without
removal of external covers. Digital adjustment also eliminates
the use of mechanical adjusters, minimizing long term drift and
vulnerability to mechanical shock.
Application Modes
The 2026A/B family has a Set Up Key to enable the applications
to be selected. Each Set Up is displayed as a pictorial representation
of the internal signal source routing. A spectral diagram is
used to show the parameters to be entered in each application
in well known engineering terminology.
