Synthesised signal generator

31 August 2011 Test & Measurement

Hittite has introduced a new synthesised signal generator for engineering development and production test environments in microwave and millimetre-wave radio, wireless HDMI, medical, SatCom and sensor equipment applications.

The HMC-T2270 is a 10 MHz to 70 GHz instrument that delivers up to +29 dBm of CW output power in 0,1 dB steps over a 60 dB dynamic range. Harmonic rejection is better than


-40 dBc at 30 GHz output, while spurious products are better than -65 dBc at all integer frequencies. Phase noise is -113 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from 1 GHz, and -79 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset from 67 GHz, with insignificant deviation over the temperature range of 0°C to +35°C.

The signal generator exhibits frequency resolution of 1 Hz and fast switching speed of only 500 μs, making it suitable for frequency hopping and threat simulation applications. It is compatible with USB, GPIB and Ethernet control interfaces. An installation disk that accompanies each unit includes all of the drivers required to remotely control the instrument, as well as a user friendly LabWindows-based GUI interface compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 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 HMC-T2270 instruments within a single test rack is simple.
