Fast, Precise Pulse Modulation

Improved pulse performance with fast rise and fall times provides precise RF pulse generation for demanding test applications.

Straightforward Signal Setup

A 5-inch capacitive touchscreen provides quick access to RF, modulation, sweep and I/Q functions, with USB, LAN and Web remote control for bench or automated use.

External I/Q Modulation

IQE models can work with an external baseband source such as the Siglent SDG6000X to generate vector and multi-tone signals for communications and active-device testing.

USB Power Meter Control

Connect a compatible USB power meter for direct measurement and closed-loop level control, helping compensate for cable loss, gain and frequency response.

Programming Example: SSA/SVA analyser screen image capture using Python over LAN 20/08/2021
Here is a brief code example written in Python 3.4 that uses a socket to pull a display image (screenshot) from a SIGLENT SSA/SVA analyser via LAN and save it to the local drive of the controlling computer. NOTE: This program saves the picture/display image file in the same directory that the .py file is being run from. It will overwrite any existing file that has the same na...

Build FM NRSC masks for SIGLENT SSA3000X/SVA1000Xs using a Python script 20/08/2021
Many broadcast applications require monitoring a transmitter and observing the output amplitude vs. frequency. For FM radio applications, a common mask is defined by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is commonly referred to as the FM NRSC mask. A very helpful SIGLENT owner, Dan from Alabama Broadcast Services, LLC, built an FM NRSC Mask tool using our original ...

Testing Open Socket Communications Using PuTTY 20/08/2021
Many instruments include the ability to be controlled via a remote connection to a computer using an Ethernet connection. In many cases, these instruments require a special software library that can help establish and maintain the communications link between the instrument and controlling computer. This can be annoying for a few reasons… the software library is likely to occupy a large amount of...
