The Marconi IFR Aeroflex 3020C is a 3 GHz PXI modular RF signal generator delivering complex modulated waveforms for research, design verification, and manufacturing test environments. This 3U hybrid slot-compatible module integrates dual-channel arbitrary waveform generation with multi-mode modulation capability, spanning 1 MHz to 3 GHz with output levels from −121 dBm to +17 dBm. Fast frequency settling below 85 MHz (< 20 µs) and level settling in list mode (< 3 ms below 4.5 GHz) enable rapid characterization of wireless devices across WLAN, WMAN, and cellular standards.
