Aeroflex announced the addition of an internal pulse generator option for the 2023A Series signal generator. This new option greatly facilitates testing in EMC and radar applications by providing an integrated solution that removes the need for an external pulse generator and simplifies test procedures. In addition, Aeroflex has enhanced the instrument’s internal modulation oscillator to extend its stimulus capabilities.
The new pulse generator option, with a minimum pulse width of 50 ns and maximum PRF of 10 MHz, works with both pulse modulators available for the 2023A Series signal generators. The standard pulse modulator provides an on/off ratio of >45 dB with rise/fall times of 80 dB with rise/fall times of typically 10 ns, suiting the requirements of radar applications. Adding the pulse generator option makes the 2023A Series signal generator a complete solution for both the EMC and radar applications.
Aeroflex has also enhanced the 2023A Series’ standard internal modulation oscillator, offering modulating frequencies up to 100 kHz and providing a “function generator” mode in which the user can control LF output level as well as frequency. Effectively creating two instruments in one, the function generator mode extends the 2023A Series ability to provide stimulus for audio devices and sub-assemblies while simultaneously generating an unmodulated RF carrier.
With a host of standard features, the 2023A Series serves as a globally accepted and comprehensive signal generator. It is built upon many decades of Aeroflex’s expertise in designing and manufacturing innovative signal generators. The 2023A is competitively priced and offers great value for the money.
The 2023A Series signal generator with the new internal pulse generator option is currently available with delivery 3 weeks upon receipt of order. For details on price, contact your local Aeroflex sales representative or e-mail info-test@aeroflex.com.
