General Remarks

Today, digital modulation schemes are widely used in communication systems, and the increasing need for

data bandwidth has pushed the signal purity and modulation bandwidth requirements for modern vector

signal sources. Other applications with similar performance requirements include radio surveillance,

interference analysis, radar signal analysis and electronic warfare.

Addressing these demanding requirements, AnaPico’s APVSG series of vector signal generators (VSGs) provide

frequency coverage to 40 GHz and are available as single output desktop units or rack-mount instruments with

multiple phase-coherent outputs. The APVSG series offers a cost-effective and flexible tool for generating high-

quality, complex, wideband, digitally modulated signals.

Among others, the following use cases are supported:

• Upload multiple formats of IQ Data into APVSG Memory. The APVSG internal AWG can play selected sections

of the RAM upon a user trigger.

• Use APVSG to synthesize and play predefined digital modulation formats

• Use FCP interface to live stream and play digital IQ data

• Use the analog IQ inputs with up to 250 MHz IQ bandwidth

• Use FCP to instantaneously switch between pre-loaded IQ data segments

• Use FCP to control the APVSG for ultra-fast frequency hopping.

All APVSGs operate with an ultra-stable temperature compensated frequency reference (OCXO) that can be

phase-locked to an external reference.

The compact unit allows for full front panel control via touch panel display, and PC GUI Software supported

operation via ETHERNET, USB, FCP (fast control port) and GPIB communication ports.

Available Casing

The devices are available in the following cases:

Compact Portable Case (CPC)

Figure 1: Compact Portable Case with touch display

2U Case (2URM)

Figure 2: 2URM case for multi-channel devices

Data Connections

The devices may only be connected to a network or a computer by using a shielded LAN cable. Unless shorter

lengths are prescribed, a maximum length of 3 m must not be exceeded for the LAN and the USB connection.

Signal Connections

In general, all connections between the signal generator and another device should be made as short as

possible and must be well shielded. It is recommended to use a high-quality cable with low loss especially for

frequencies above 20 GHz.

Transportation

The devices must only be transported with the packaging supplied by the manufacturer. The device can be

lifted up or transported in any orientation.
