modulator, which is able to generate digital signals in

conjunction with an external I/Q source.

General Features and Functions

The Agilent N9310A RF Signal Generator provides:

• 9 kHz to 3 GHz frequency range

• –127 to +13 dBm (+20 dBm settable) level range

• Built in AM, FM, FM, and pulse modulation

• RF sweep, LF sweep and amplitude sweep

•0-3 Vp LF output (into 50 W)

• 6.5- inch TFT LCD

• Universal USB interface

• 1- year calibration cycle

N9310A User’s Guide 3

Options

✔Option 001: I/Q modulator

(part number: N9310A - 001)

This option provides an additional internal I/Q

modulator. Using this option in the signal generator

generates digital signals. Option 001 also requires an

external I/Q baseband signal input.

✔Option 1CM: Rackmount flange kit

(part number: N9310A - 1CM)

Use a rackmount kit to facilitate installation in a

standard rack.

✔Option 1TC: Hard transit case

(part number: N9310A - 1TC)

A hard transit case protects the signal generator during

transportation and storage.

Front Panel Overview

1DisplayThe LCD screen shows information on the current

function. Information includes status indicators, frequency

and amplitude settings, and error messages. Labels for

softkeys are located on the right- hand side of the display.

For further description of the front panel display, refer to

“Front Panel Display” on page 7

2SoftkeysSoftkeys vary in function. They activate functions

displayed to the left of each key. Refer to Chapter 4, “Key

Reference,” starting on page 53 for further information.

3EnterThe hardkey terminates data entry field or

parameter selection. It also triggers a single sweep.

4AmplitudePressing hardkey allows you to edit the CW

(continuous wave) amplitude.

5FrequencyPressing hardkey allows you to edit the CW

Frequency.

6 Function keys These hardkeys connect directly to the

following main functions:

•Preset sets the signal generator to factory default settings.

•AM configures an amplitude modulation.
