Siglent expands the addressable frequency range of its RF Instruments to 26.5 GHz

Satellite communication, radar and the latest mobile communication system work at frequency bands in the microwave range. The design engineers have to deal with many challenges during the development work in this area. In order to conquer these, high-performance measurement technology is required. The newly introduced instruments from Siglent support the X- und K-band measurements up to 26.5 GHz.

The SSA5000A spectrum analyzer series include two models that provide fast spectrum analysis from 9 kHz to 13.6 or 26.5 GHz, a DANL of -165 dBm/Hz, a low phase noise of -105 dBc/Hz and feature a big 12-inch TouchScreen. The SSA5000A can also capture intermittent signals using the optional real time (RTSA) mode. This feature has an analysis bandwidth up to 40 MHz and is built to make transmission analysis of common protocols like Bluetooth and WLAN testing at IoT devices easier.

The new SSG5000A RF/MW signal generator can output clean sine waves up to 20 GHz. The spectral purity, low phase noise of -120 dBc/Hz and power control make it ideal for the use as a high frequency LO in many applications like radar, quantum physics and RF component verification (more info).
