Siglent launches the SSG3000X Plus Series RF signal generators. Covering a frequency range of 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz with maximum output power of +20 dBm, the series features an optional high-stability OCXO reference source, excellent phase noise, and significantly improved pulse signal fidelity, delivering pure signal output and stable performance.

The SSG3000X Plus comes standard with AM/FM/PM analog modulation, pulse modulation, and USB power meter control. It supports custom pulse sequences and external IQ modulation, and is equipped with a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen. The SSG3000X Plus is well suited for RF component characterization, research and development, manufacturing, education, and maintenance applications, providing a pure, stable, and competitively priced professional RF signal solution. 

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.

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.

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 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.

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

The SSG3000X Plus series RF signal generators, designed to deliver exceptional signal purity, stability, and versatility for precision RF testing. The new series enhances frequency stability, phase noise performance, and pulse fidelity while offering comprehensive modulation capabilities and intuitive operation. Ideal for RF component characterization, research and development, manufacturing, education, and maintenance, it provides a pure, reliable, and cost-effective professional solution.
