The Analog Signal Generator MG3740A has excellent RF specifications, including SSB phase noise, output level, etc., and versatile modulation functions (AM/FM/ΦM/Pulse). The MG3740A is the ideal solution for high-purity signal source for testing analog radio Rx characteristics. Moreover, adding the digital modulation option supports generation of narrowband digital modulation signals.
Supports narrowband digital modulation as well as CW and analog modulations.
