Test & Measurement


10 MHz to 40 GHz signal generator

2 February 2011 Test & Measurement

Hittite’s new HMC-T2240 is a 10 MHz to 40 GHz synthesised signal generator which provides high output power, low harmonic levels and broad frequency range.

Designed for use in automated test and measurement environments, research, and development laboratories, the instrument is a compact and lightweight frequency generator that delivers up to +29 dBm @ 1 GHz of CW output power in 0,1 dB steps over a 60 dB dynamic range. Harmonic rejection is better than -30 dBc and spurious products are better than -60 dBc at integer frequencies and better than -45 dBc at fractional frequencies. Phase noise is


-96 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset at 10 GHz. The HMC-T2240 also delivers frequency resolution of 1 Hz and fast switching speed of 500 μs.

The signal generator features multiple interfaces (USB, GPIB and Ethernet) and innovative control software ensuring convenient integration within multiple test environments. An installation disk that accompanies each unit includes all of the drivers required to remotely control the device as well as a user friendly GUI interface compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows Vista operating systems. User control is facilitated via pull-down menus that allow programming of single or swept modes in frequency and/or power. Integration of multiple units within a production test environment is easy and affordable.
