The new RF Generator up to 3GHz and 6GHz is available to order

All-round RF Generator close the gap between 3GHz and 6GHz in the General Purpose Source Market

Rigol Technologies, a leading manufacturer of test and measurement instruments for a wide range of applications, now also offers a RF Signal Source. This source is available with a maximum output frequency up to 6GHz.

The DSG3000 Series RF source is the new choice for the customers who are in charge of applications in Wireless communication, Radar test, Audio/Video Broadcasting, general purpose, Education, Consumer Electronics and so on.

Its starting basic specifications could already meet many application requirements.

·         Amplitude accuracy: <0.5dB (typical)

·         Output amplitude range: -130 dBm to +13 dBm (+25dBm ALC off)

·         High signal purity, phase noise: <-110dBc/Hz@20kHz (typical)

·         Standard 0.5ppm internal clock

·         Standard AM/FM/ΦM analog

·         Standard pulse modulation; on/off ratio up to 80dB

·         All modulations support internal and external modulation

·         Standard 2U height design to save rack space; rack mount kit is available

·         Standard USB/LAN/GPIB remote control interfaces; support SCPI command set

·         Wear-free electronic attenuator design

The functional range can be extended with 4 available options.
The high stable Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (option OCXO-A08) enhances the temperature stability of the reference frequency from 0.5 ppm to 5ppb.
An additional accuracy enhancement option is the so called Power Meter Controller (option PMC-DSG3000). With this option it is possible to control USB Power Meters from different manufactures (Agilent/R&S/etc.). This is used as an automatic flatness calibration function (cables, attenuators, amplifiers and so on) for test systems.


Functional enhancements are the options IQ and Pulse. (IQ-DSG3000; PUG-DSG3000)

With the Pulse Option the DSG3000 is able to act as Pulse Train Generator. The IQ option enables digital modulation generation. This option offers the possibility to internally generate IQ Signals and output this as RF IQ-signals or as baseband I and Q Signals. Also external I and Q signals can be inputted and modulated to RF up to 6 GHz.

With the flexibility thru the additional options and the very good basic performance up to 6GHz and the “Rigol-typical” excellent price performance ratio this source becomes a very good alternative to all the other sources in the RF market.

The basic price for the DSG3030 (3GHz model) starts at 5218.-€  + VAT.
