Product Introduction

SSG3000X Plus series RF signal generators, covering a frequency range of 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz with a maximum output level of +20 dBm. Featuring an optional high-stability OCXO reference source, excellent phase noise, and significantly improved pulse signal fidelity, the series delivers pure signal output and stable performance. It comes standard with AM/FM/PM analog modulation, pulse modulation, and USB power meter control, supports custom pulse sequences and external IQ modulation, and is equipped with a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen. Well suited for RF component characterization, research and development, manufacturing, education, and maintenance applications, the SSG3000X Plus provides a pure, stable, and cost-effective professional RF signal solution.

Key Features

  • Frequency up to 2.1 GHz/3.2 GHz
  • Level output from -110 dBm to +13 dBm
  • Phase noise: -117 dBc/Hz @ 1 GHz, 20 kHz offset (typ.)
  • Optional high-precision OCXO reference
  • Standard AM/FM/PM analog and pulse modulation
  • External IQ modulation with 200 MHz RF bandwidth
  • USB power meter control

Product advantage

High stability OCXO reference

An optional high-precision OCXO reference source significantly improves frequency stability, offering excellent temperature stability and low aging rates. This reduces frequency drift caused by temperature variations and long-term operation, meeting the stringent accuracy requirements of extended testing and precision applications while ensuring long-term reliability of the signal output.

Low phase noise

Phase noise performance is better than –117 dBc/Hz (typical) at 1 GHz carrier with 20 kHz offset, and the wideband noise is typically better than –153 dBc/Hz at 40 MHz offset. Excellent harmonic and non-harmonic suppression is achieved across a wide frequency range, enabling accurate and reliable results in high-precision receiver testing and sensitive measurements.

External IQ modulation

Standard AM/FM/PM analog modulation supports internal, external, and internal + external modulation sources. External IQ modulation, available on IQE models, is implemented via external I/Q inputs. When paired with an SDG6000X baseband source, it can generate vector signals such as 16QAM and QPSK with an RF modulation bandwidth of 200 MHz, meeting the needs of complex digital modulation signal generation.

Pulse modulation

Pulse modulation features typical rise/fall times of less than 15 ns and an on/off ratio of up to 68 dBc. The flatter pulse waveform reduces the risk of damage to devices such as power amplifiers and T/R modules. Single-pulse, double-pulse, and pulse sequence modes with up to 2047 pulses (option PT) are supported, with finely adjustable pulse width and period to satisfy pulse equipment testing requirements.

USB power meter control

The 5-inch capacitive touchscreen with mouse and keyboard support delivers an intuitive operating experience. Flexible step and list sweeps supporting up to 65,535 points, combined with multiple trigger modes, enable rapid frequency and level sweeps. Integrated USB power meter control automatically compensates for cable loss and temperature drift. Web remote control, along with USB, LAN, and optional GPIB interfaces, facilitates seamless integration into automated test environments
