The SSG-44G-RC from Mini-Circuits is a Signal Generator with a frequency range from 0.1 to 44 GHz. It can be controlled to provide an output power from –40 to 17 dBm with a power level resolution of 0.5 dB and a frequency resolution of 1 Hz. The signal generator can be controlled via USB or Ethernet (supporting SSH, HTTP & Telnet protocols) and is designed to connect up to 25 modules in series (daisy chain) using dynamic addressing.
Full software support is provided, including Mini-Circuits’ user-friendly GUI application for Windows, flexible API and programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments. The daisy-chain control interface with “dynamic addressing” simplifies control integration and allows multiple units to be combined into a multi-channel signal source with control through a single software interface.
This signal generator allows the configuration of CW/single-tone outputs, flexible pulse sequences with pulse widths down to 0.5 μs, or automated frequency/power sweep and hop sequences. It is a high-quality, repeatable and reliable signal source with a phase noise of -109 dBc/Hz (at 1 MHz offset, 10 GHz carrier frequency) and harmonics of -30 dBc. This signal generator has been developed in a compact package with powerful software control and automation to provide a cost-effective millimeter wave signal generator and LO source for any bench or production test application.
The SSG-44G-RC requires a DC supply of 12 V and consumes less than 1.9 A of current. It is available in an enclosure that measures 142.24 x 129.54 x 25.40 mm with 2.92 mm (female) connectors and is ideal for use in 5G FR1/FR2, Wi-Fi 6E, millimeter wave radio infrastructure, semiconductor high power burn-in and life testing, wideband LO source, benchtop signal generator and automated production test systems.
