The APHSPXX Series from AnaPico are Single/Multi-Channel Phase-Coherent Signal Generators with a frequency range from 1 kHz to 51 GHz. They are designed for applications where good signal quality, accurate and wide output power ranges, and very stable phase coherence among all channels are required. These signal generators have a high-stability OCXO reference that provides excellent frequency accuracy and stability. They also accept a wide range of external references, including the commonly used 10 MHz and 100 MHz for better phase synchronization. These generators also support references in the range of 1-250 MHz for applications requiring customer or system-specific reference frequencies.
The APHSPXX Series signal generators feature a pair of AnaPico-specific high-frequency CLK ports that enable high-phase synchronization among the outputs of multiple AnaPico instruments with similar ports. They have a frequency resolution of less than 0.001 Hz, a power resolution of 0.01 dB, and a power range from -6 dBm to +13 dBm. These generators have harmonics of -65 dBc and an SSB phase noise of -143 dBc/Hz (at 1 kHz offset). They can be controlled by PC-based GUI software via USB, LAN, Gigabit Ethernet, or GPIB interfaces, and each interface allows for easy and quick communication using the SCPI 1999 command set. These generators support a customer-supplied API or programming examples for MATLAB, LabVIEW, or C++ to make the control implementation straightforward.
The APHSPXX Series signal generators are available in desktop enclosures that measure 9.1 x 15.5 x 3.8 inches or rack-mount enclosures (multi-channel) that measure 17.5 x 23.4 x 3.5 inches with SMA (female), K-type (female), and 1.85 mm/2.4 mm (female) connectors. They require an AC supply from 100 to 240 V and consume less than 280 W of power.
