VSG2G1 is a very cost-effective USB vector signal generator. Its capabilities are comparable to the basic functions of a regular full-size RF vector signal generator. VSG2G1 is miniature and portable equipment, but it has more features and functions than full-size analog RF signal generators, with a frequency range up to 2.2GHz, frequency sweep, and frequency hopping using I&Q modulation with an arbitrary signal generator.

It can generate most of all RF signal modulation so that many test functions can be customized to meet the needs of proprietary and other nonstandard wireless protocols. You can configure this device to meet a wide variety of test tasks.

Choosing the VSG2G1

• The VSG2G1 is suited to applications that need I&Q channels to generate modulation signals for testing an RF receiver with frequency requirements lower than 2.2GHz.
• The VSG2G1 signal output is from an ADL5385 with the output level calibrated and controlled.
• With I&Q modulation provided, the output signal is very useful for most communication systems. The VSG2G1 can generate signals from simple modulation types (e.g. FM) to more complex modulations (e.g. QAM)
• The I&Q engine in the TSG program provided can easily generate the most common communication signals. Customers can use the program to build custom modulations as needed. The VSG2G1 can be used for many applications, ranging from radio to cellular phone testing, for instance.
• The ADL5385’s bandwidth can extend to 500MHz. While the internal I&Q signal clock is only effective up to 2.4MHz, an external input works up to 500MHz bandwidth. A high-speed I&Q option will work with this interface to generate wideband modulation signals.
• The VSG2G1 can work with pulse modulation, frequency sweeping, and hopping to generate various system signals such TDMA, CDMA, etc.
• The VSG2G1 also has both an LF signal output and a pulse signal output for lower frequency applications.
