The DSG3030-IQ RF signal generator offers standard AM/FM/ØM analog modulation, as well as options for I/Q modulation and I/Q baseband output with a maximum frequency 3 GHz. Featuring a high signal purity with phase noise measuring <-110 dBc/Hz @ 20 kHz (typical) and a wide output range of -130 dBm to +13 dBm, the DSG3000 RF signal generator has standard pulse modulation with an on/off ratio of up to 80dB, with optional pulse train generator available. The DSG3000 series also has an amplitude accuracy of < 0.5 dB (typical). Beside the analog output the devices include a USB-Host- and a USB-device and a LAN interface.
The DSG3000 series is a high-performance RF signal generator. It provides comprehensive modulation solutions such as: Pulse modulation with customizable pulse train and I/Q modulation (optional) and standard AM/FM/FM analog modulation. All modulation schemes support internal and external modulation sources. In addition, to meet the demands of production environments, the DSG3000 is designed to be both, highly stable and reliable. The DSG3000 series also features a clear user interface, small size and light weight. It is easy to operate and can output stable, precise and pure signals. It is an ideal tool for various fields such as communication, computers, instrumentation, R&D, education, production and maintenance.
The Rigol DSG3030-IQ RF Signal Generator possesses all the performance and features of a Rigol DSG3030 3GHz RF Signal Generator, plus an I/Q modulation capability. The inclusion of an I/Q modulator and versatile baseband data source makes the DSG3030-IQ a competitively priced instrument. The baseband data source provides a choice of data pattern, modulation type and channel filtering, including:
- Date patterns - PRBS, data list, pattern, all '1's, all '0's.
- Modulation types - QAM, ASK, PSK, FSK, MSK and user defined
- Channel filtering - rectangular, raised cosine, root raised cosine and gaussian
The data source is configured using Rigol Ultra IQ Station PC software, which generates an I/Q waveform file that is downloaded into the DSG3030-IQ. Alternatively, I/Q waveform data can be imported into Ultra IQ Station from other sources such as LabVIEW or MATLAB.
Options for the DSG3030-IQ include a pulse train generator, a high stability OCXO reference oscillator, a power meter controller (for precise calibration of the signal level at the input to the DUT) and a rack mount kit. The Rigol RX1000 RF Receiver Demonstration Kit can be powered and controlled from a DSG3030-IQ (i.e. No need for a PC) making a versatile system for education purposes.
