1465-C/D/F/H/L Signal Generator up to 67GHz

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

1465 series signal generators, with the frequency range of 100kHz ~ 67GHz, are provided with high purity spectrum and high output power. The single side band phase noise at 10GHz carrier and 10kHz frequency offset is -126dBc/Hz. The maximum output power reaches up to 1W at 20GHz carrier, and the dynamic range of output power gets 150dB. All these specifications can meet the high-end requirements of electromagnetic signal tests. In addition, 1465 signal generators own the functions of high-precision analog sweep and high-performance analog and pulse modulation, with maximum bandwidth of internally modulated signal generator up to 10MHz, various signal waveforms, the minimum pulse width of 20ns and flexible pulse trains, which can meet the test requirements of analog and pulse modulations. A 10.1-in. display screen of 1280×800 resolution as well as a number of independent operation styles, such as buttons, mouse and touch screens are equipped so as to improve user experience and test efficiency. 1465 signal generators can generate high-quality continuous-wave or modulated signals, which are not only ideal local oscillation source and clock source, but also high-performance analog simulation signal source. They are mainly used in the radar performance evaluation, high-performance receiver test and components parameter test etc., and applicable to aviation, aerospace, radar, communication and navigation equipment etc.

High purity spectrum

1465 series signal generators are able to output extremely pure signal spectrum, typical single side band phase noise at 10GHz carrier and 10kHz frequency offset of -126dBc/Hz, and at 1GHz carrier and 10kHz frequency offset of -142dBc/Hz, which can be used in Doppler radar, high-performance receiver blocking and adjacent channel selectivity tests, and are ideal alternatives to local oscillator and low-jitter clock.

Broadband and high-power output

With H05 high-power options, typical values for the maximum output power are +22dBm for 20GHz, +20dBm for 40GHz, and +10dBm for 67GHz. With H06 enhanced high-power option, the output power is +30dBm (1W). When high-power input signals are required in your test, the required test signals can be obtained, with no external amplifier, and higher power accuracy and stability will be achieved.

High stability of frequency and power output

The stability is high for both the frequency and power of an output signal. Time-base aging rate is ±5×10^-8/year, and for 10MHz high stability time-base, variation per year is less than 0.5Hz. Both output power accuracy and stability are quite remarkable, i.e. after 15-day continuous power-on in the environment for a temperature cycle of 0ºC-50ºC, the power variation is less than 0.2dB at the same temperature, and rate of temperature change for the power is less than 0.01dB/ºC.

Convenient touch screen control

A 10.1-inch LED display screen of 1280×800 resolution shows the instrument status information clearly. Conspicuous color matching, proper function division and various functional panel buttons provide a fresh sight of vision, easy operation and higher test efficiency for you. Besides, with the panel buttons, the instrument can be controlled independently by operating with enter knob, sliding or clicking on the touch screen, and using external keyboard or mouse.

Complete frequency band serialization

For 1465A/B/C/D/F/H/L signal generators, the frequency ranges are 100kHz-3GHz/6GHz/10GHz/20GHz/40GHz/50GHz/67GHz. In these 7 serialized models, the minimum selectable output frequency is 9kHz for 1465A/B, and for 1465L, the maximum selectable output frequency is 70GHz. Each model has various options available for function and performance extension. There is always one model suitable for you, no matter for metrology solutions or basic signal generators, only radio-frequency range test signals or millimeter-wave for signal frequency.

High-precision analog sweep

Full-band high-precision analog sweep function allows rapid sweep in your broadband test. In addition, step sweep and list sweep are provided for your other test requirements.

Super-high power dynamic range

A 150dB power dynamic range of -130dBm - +20dBm is provided as the best choice for testing a high-sensitivity receiver.

Excellent analog modulation

With the functions of AM, FM and ΦM, it supports internally and externally modulated resource input. For both the FM and ΦM, the modulation bandwidth is from DC to 10MHz, while linear and exponential modes are provided for AM, with the linear AM depth of more than 90%. An internally modulated signal generator, with the frequency range from DC to 10MHz, 0.1Hz resolution and 7 modulated waveforms, can output low-frequency signals directly.

High-performance pulse modulation

The depth of modulation is more than 80dB, with the rise and fall time of less than 10ns and the minimum pulse width of 20ns. Clock gate and various external trigger modes are supported. A standard internal pulse generator, with 6 pulse modes, pulse width from 20ns to 42s, and 10ns step, has the function of pulse train required in radar test.

Multiple control and function extension interfaces

There are USB, LAN, GPIB, monitor interface and other auxiliary interfaces, in which USB is used to transmit data, and connect with keyboard/mouse etc., while LAN and GPIB are used for program control, and monitor interface for external display.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Notes：

1. When 1465-V series signal generator is under environment temperature for 2 hours, attenuator is automatically coupling（or ALC power＞-5dBm）after 30 minutes warm-up time. The generator meets every parameter performance within given working temperature.

2. Typical value is a supplementary characteristic just for user’s reference. These specifications are not guaranteed.

3. 1465B-V is +16dBm.

4. Rating value is an expected performance, or used to describe the product performance which is useful but not included in product performance warranty.

5. Spectral purity parameter is tested in a certain frequency without any modulation.

Bm. The working frequency range of option H06 is greater than 100MHz，so there’s no tested specification under 100MHz.
