Tektronix TSG4106A-E1

The TSG4106A-E1 RF Vector Signal Generator offers mid-range performance and up to 200 MHz modulation bandwidth at an entry-level RF signal generator price. A new technique provides spurious free outputs with low phase noise (-113 dBc/Hz at 20 kHz offset from 1 GHz carrier) and extraordinary frequency resolution (1 μHz at any frequency). TSG4106A-E1 comes standard with analog modulation, pre-installed with an oven-based crystal oscillator (OCXO) time base, and a GPIB interface.

Convenient, in-field software upgrades allow the TSG4106A-E1 to easily transition from analog to the more advanced vector and digital modulation capabilities, providing the most flexible configuration and best CAPEX protection. These instruments complement other leading mid-range RF test solutions from Tektronix, such as the USB-based RSA306 Spectrum Analyzer, and the MDO4000B and MDO3000 Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes.

OCXO Time-Base

These instruments offer an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) time-base. The time-base uses a third-overtone stress-compensated 10 MHz resonator in a thermostatically controlled oven. The time-base provides very low phase noise and very low aging.

Easy Remote Communications

Remote operation is supported with RS-232, LAN, and GPIB interfaces. All instrument functions can be controlled and read over any of the interfaces. Up to nine instrument configurations can be saved in non-volatile memory.
