APHSP High Spectral Performance MW Signal Generator – up to 51 GHz

1 kHz to 12.75, 20, 40 or 51 GHz Signal Generator

The APHSPXX series sets new standards with extremely low phase noise (10 GHz at 20kHz -139 dBc/Hz), combined with an ultra-fast switching speed of 5 μs and a frequency range from 10 MHz (1 kHz with option 1K) to 12.75, 20, 40, and 51 GHz. The outstanding phase noise is complemented by very good spurious and harmonics rejection performance.

The APHSPXX is a series of extremely-low phase noise and ultra-fast switching signal generators with a frequency range from 10 MHz (1 kHz with option 1K) to 12.75, 20, 40, and 51 GHz. It is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, where good signal quality, accurate and wide output power ranges are required. Outstanding phase noise is combined with good spurious, harmonic rejection and leading-edge switching speed of 5 μs.

A high-stability OCXO reference provides excellent frequency accuracy and stability. The generator accepts a wide range of external references including the commonly used 10 and 100 MHz for higher phase synchronization, and a flexible reference choice in the range of 1-250 MHz for those applications with customer- or system-specific reference frequencies. Moreover, the APHSPXX features a pair of ANAPICO-specific high-frequency CLK ports (3 GHz, one input and one output) that enables excellent phase synchronization among the outputs of multiple ANAPICO instruments with similar ports.

The APHSPXX comes in a standard desktop enclosure. It can be intuitively controlled by a PC based GUI Software. Moreover, the instrument offers various communication interfaces like USB, LAN or GPIB. Each interface allows for easy and fast communication using SCPI 1999 command set. Remote control of the instrument can be quickly achieved from any host system. A customer-supplied application programming interface (API) or programming examples for Matlab, Labview, C++ and other commercially available tools make the control implementation very straightforward.
