Preface
The R&S
SGS is a signal generator intended either for the generation of IQ-
modulated signals or as a pure local oscillator (LO) source.
Optimized for use in automated test equipment (ATE), the instrument offers fast
settling times in an exceptionally small form factor and low power consumption.
The R&S
SGS can be equipped optionally with an active electronic step attenua-
tor, a high stability reference oscillator and LO connectors for coupling multiple
generators to a common LO source.

●
Remote connection via PCI Express, minimizing the setup time
Alternatively, LAN or USB connections available
●
Coherent LO input and output connectors, also usable as MIMO input/output
and phase coherent I/Q demodulation
●
Broadband analog input for vector modulation (I, Q)
●
Linux operating system
●
Graphical user interface R&S SGMA-GUI to set up and control one or more
R&S
SGS instruments simultaneously from one remote computer, available
for Windows and Linux systems
