The BLX-403 Lab Brick from Vaunix is a portable and programmable signal generator that operates from 0.5 to 40 GHz. It has a resolution of 100 Hz, switching time of 5 ms, output power of 10 dBm, and 40 dB of output level control. It has advanced features such as frequency sweeping, internal/external 10 MHz reference, and standard pulse modulation. The BLX-403 has excellent phase noise characteristics and can easily be programmed via a USB or Ethernet connection to a PC.
This modular signal generator can be handheld, set on a benchtop, or fixed inside a small rack. It is available in a durable aluminum case that measures 6.5 X 3.64 X 1.0 inches (165.1 X 92.5 X 25.4 mm) and weighs 1.7 pounds (0.77 kilograms). It is ideal for test and measurement teams who need a flexible signal generator for their varied L-, S-, C-, X-, Ku-, K-, and Ka-band applications.
This BLX-403 uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to allow programmability for fixed-frequency operation, unidirectional or bidirectional frequency sweep, and pulse modulation mechanisms.
