Signal Hound VSG25A Vector Signal Generator tot 2.5 GHz

The VSG25A hardware features a 12-bit I/Q baseband arbitrary waveform generator which can be clocked at virtually any frequency from 54 kHz to 180 MHz, and includes a 4096×16 bit pattern buffer for built-in or custom
modulation.

The included software automatically generates:

CW: 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz, -40 dBm to +10 dBm

Unspecified operation down to 80 MHz, or -70 dBm to +13 dBm

AM / FM: 30 Hz to 40 MHz modulation rates, sine, triangle, square, ramp

Pulse: 6 ns to 25 ms width, 12 ns to 1 second period

Multi-tone: Up to 1023 tones with optional center notch

Use random phase + notch for Noise Power Ratio testing

Use parabolic phase for best signal / noise

PSK: BPSK, DBPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, DQPSK, /4 DQPSK, 8-PSK, D8PSK, 16-PSK

4k to 45M symbols per second

Optional raised cosine, root raised cosine filtering

Up to 512 symbols, streamed continuously in a loop

Binary symbol editor features1-click insertion of PN7 / PN9 sequences

QAM: QAM-16, QAM-64, QAM-256(same features as PSK)

ASK / FSK: 4k to 45M symbols per second

Optional Gaussian filtering

Up to 512 symbols, streamed continuously in a loop

Sweep

Arbitrary Custom Modulation

Load a CSV file with I and Q values, specify center frequency, amplitude, pattern length (up to 2048),
pattern period (up to 65535), and clock rate.

The VSG25A vector signal generator does have some limitations. The pattern buffer is small and cannot be upgraded. There is no reconstruction filter on the I/Q baseband, resulting in out-of-band spurious signals, and there is a single 2.7 GHz low pass filter on the RF output, so 3rd harmonics below 3.6 GHz may need to be filtered externally. If these are not show-stoppers for you, the VSG25A is an unbeatable value.
