After years of development DS Instrument’s updated low-noise premium signal generator has been released! Offering lower phase noise, a wider frequency range, and more robust output level control than the standard SG22000. Like our SG6000 product line, this RF generator is fully programmable via SCPI commands (USB / Ethernet) or the front panel interface making it more flexible than any competing product. Offered as a higher performance version of the SG22000L, this upgraded microwave generator is aimed at phase-noise sensitive applications in X, Ku, and K-band development and testing.
SG22000PRO Features:
