SIGLENT Release the new SSG5000X series RF

Analog/Vector Signal Generator

May 25, 2020

May, 15, 2020, SIGLENT release the new series RF Analog/Vector Signal Generator. It has a much higher

output frequency range than the previous SSG3000X series. With model SSG5060X-V, the RF output

frequency is up to 6 GHz, and its internal baseband generator bandwidth is up to 150 MHz.

With its powerful functions and wide frequency range, SSG5000X has abundant application ﬁelds, such as

receiver tests, ampliﬁer tests, IP3 measurement & Radar and digital modulation tests, Spur and harmonics

measurement, ACPR tests and cable loss compensation.

Powerful ARB mode

Rapid developments in consumer electronics require a variety of communication protocols to verify

wireless products. A good signal generator should help engineers with output multiple kinds of common

protocol signals. SSG5000X supports playback protocol ﬁles and has built-in common protocol ﬁles, such

as 5G NR, LTE, WLAN, WCDMA, GSM, BLUETOOTH. It is the right generator doing veriﬁcation works.

With ARB mode, SSG5000X can also build and replay waveform sequences, generate multi-carrier signals.

Multi-carrier signals are widely used with the introduction of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division

Multiplexing), which is used for systems such as wireless/ cellular telecommunications and networking

standards such as WiMAX, Wi-Fi 802.11, LTE.

Build and Replay Waveform Sequences Generate Multi-Carrier Signals

It can add real-time AWGN to modulation signals when testing receiver performance to simulate various

environments.

Add real time AWGN to digital IQ signals for receiver performance tests

In addtion, ARB mode can clip the peak power of the signal and display CCDF (Complementary Cumulative

Distribution Function) curve. It can mark waveform symbol and output IQ_Event trigger signal to

synchronize another unit.

CUSTOM Mode – Quickly create waveforms meet test standards

IQ modulation is a very eﬀective way to transmit information. SSG5000X can output common modulation

signals like QAM, PSK, ASK, FSK. The symbol rate can be set to as high as 120 Msps.

Multi-tone Mode

Multi-tone signal consists of several sine waves. SSG5000X supports up to 20 tones. It is widely used in

audio measurements, ampliﬁer and receiver non-linear distortion tests, ground and satellite

communications tests.
