The Microwave MXG is optimized to provide accurate and repeatable reference signals in manufacturing. Provides better value for your investment by increasing throughput, maximizing uptime, and saving rack space (2RU). With scalable RF performance, easily configured to meet your specific test needs, including LO and clock substitution, CW interferers, and modulated signals for analog communication systems such as AM, FM, PM (UNT), pulse (UNU) and narrow pulse (UNW), 8648/ESG code compatible.
