Hi Ivan: I built a number of automated systems for microwave test, see: http://www.prc68.com/I/RASS_PP.html#Spur It was only when testing mixers for specific spurs where we used the synthesized signal generators for low phase noise so that the spectrum analyzer could be used with a narrow

time-nuts members: What are some signal generators for ATE test? Requirements: 100MHz to =10GHz (higher would be better) Settling time less than 1mS Reasonable phase noise Cost, less than mortgaging a house.:) Just a single tone that can be moved reasonably fast. IQ modulation not

The Agilent 8340 series might be useful here - little weak in the phase noise area but they offer frequency and power sweeps. And you did say economy was a key requirement Content by Scott Typos by Siri On Jan 17, 2015, at 9:59 PM, Ivan.Cousins ijcous...@frontier.com wrote: time-nuts
