TTi TGR2053 - 3GHz Synthesized RF Signal Generator

Model TGR2053

• 150kHz to 3GHz frequency range
• Frequency setting resolution of 10Hz at up to 3GHz
• Amplitude range of -127dBm to +13dBm
• 0.1dBm amplitude setting resolution

The TGR2051 and TGR2053 are the next generations of RF signal generators from Aim-TTi, offering both exceptional performance and new improved functionality with touch screen operation. The high-performance RF generators provide high-frequency accuracy and stability, large signal amplitude range, low phase noise and flexible analog and digital modulation capabilities making it ideal for development, test, and service work.

Advanced remote control accommodates sophisticated new automated systems and compatibility with Aim-TTI's previous RF instruments enables incorporation into existing systems. With a small footprint and lightweight design and the best price point/performance ratio in its class, the TGR2050 series maintains Aim-TTi's reputation for high quality, reliable, great value products.

Enhanced Functionality

GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE (GUI)

Both the TGR2051 and TGR2053 feature a simple and straightforward, user friendly, touch operated GUI. The 4.3 inch color LCD screen displays key information alongside readings for added efficiency. Each parameter is directly editable from the menu screen, reducing the number of steps required to complete a setup. Parameters can also be edited using the hard keys and the rotary knob, providing ultimate flexibility.

Sweep

The sweep function enables signals of varying frequency and/or amplitude to test a full range of input conditions, quickly and efficiently. Step sweeps are created according to a formula over a specified number of points, in the range 2 - 1000 . Formula specifics include: start and stop values and dwell time following SYNC at each point. Sweeps can be set to run in either direction, with linear or logarithmic spacing.

Analog Modulation

A built-in DDS generator provides Sine, Square, +Ramp, -Ramp and triangle waves, these can be applied in the forms of AM, FM or PM from the internal modulation source; at frequencies ranging from 1mHz to 1MHz. External analog modulation signals can be applied to the carrier waveform via the MOD in/out on the rear panel.

Digital Modulation (with software upgrade TGR-U01 or models TGR2051-U01/TRG2053-U01)

An extensive range of digital modulations available: FSK, GFSK, MSK, GMSK, HMSK, 3FSK, 4FSK, PSK, ASK and OOK. Built in NRZ patterns include Square wave, 7, 9, 11 & 15-bit PRBS. Digital modulation capabilities also include advanced filtering: Gaussian, Raised Cosine, Root Raised Cosine and Half Sine as well as Grey Code and Binary Encoding. External digital modulation signals can be applied to the carrier waveform via the MOD in/out on the rear panel.

Internal Modulation Pattern

A user defined pattern generator is included, in which patterns can be created and used to modulate the carrier signal. This allows a uniquely tailored pattern of up to 16384 states to be created from the front panel, alternatively these can be imported using the digital interfaces or USB Flash drive port. Digital modulation and modulation patterns can be continuous or triggered externally, internally, manually or remotely.

Compatibility

SCPI COMPATIBLE - The TGR2050 series can be integrated into existing systems using the universal SCPI command set. An extensive library of commands can be used to simplify setups and automate systems, increasing productivity and reducing costs.

LABVIEW & IVI DRIVER - An IVI-COM/IVI-C driver for Windows is included. This provides support for common high-level applications such as LabView, LabWindows, and Keysight VEE*.

COMPATIBILITY - Upgrading existing test and measurement systems is simple with the new TGR2051 & TGR2053. They can seamlessly replace legacy Aim-TTi RF generators, TGR2050 and TGR1040, in an existing system using the legacy remote command sets.

ACCESSORIES - This instrument can be rack mounted, a suitable 2U 19” rack kit is available from the manufacturers or their overseas agents.

STORAGE - 4GB of non-volatile internal memory is provided for storing multiple setups, sweep lists, arbitrary modulation patterns and more. Up to 1000 complete setups can be stored internally.
