Product Overview
The MG3690C series of broadband signal generators covers audio, HF, VHF, UHF, RF and microwave frequencies from 0.1 Hz to 70 GHz in single coaxial output and up to 500 GHz or beyond, with external multipliers. In addition, it is easy to operate either through intuitive front panel controls or remotely via GPIB or Ethernet connectivity. Thus, the MG3690C series is an ideal signal source for both RF and microwave requirements, fully configurable for simple to high performance applications.
The MG3690C offers three levels of SSB phase noise performance; Standard, Ultra low phase noise (option 3) and Premium phase noise (option 3X). The MG3690C also has an optional full suite of modulation capabilities including AM, FM, Phase and Pulse to address simple to complex signal simulation requirements.
| Key Features | |
| Industry Best Broad Frequency Coverage | 0.1 Hz to 70 GHz in a single coaxial output Generation of baseband, IF, RF and Microwave signals from one box maximizes use of equipment |
| Three tiers of Phase Noise performance | Ideal for LO substitution and clock generation applications |
| Industry Best Pulse Modulation | 100 ns leveled pulse widths with 10 ns resolution along with the ability to generate, single, doublet, triplet and quadruplet pulses Most comprehensive emulation and test of high performance narrow pulse radars |
| Fast Switching Speed | 5 ms (typical) Greatly reduces test time and increases profitability. |
| Full Analog Modulation | Internal and external AM, FM, Phase and Pulse modulation Ideal for any type of analog signal emulation |
| High Output Power | Eliminates the need for any external amplification saving cost |
| Highly Configurable | Many options to configure a system for today’s application and budget, while maintaining value for future upgrades |
| Highly Reliable | Reduced downtime |

| Option 22 | 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz | Model No. Dependent |
Note:
(a) For frequency coverage beyond 70GHz, utilize millimeter wave multiplier 2000-1694 series
- Please see pages 2-19 of the Technical Data Sheet in the Resources Tab
(b) Operational to 70 GHz
(c) All specifications apply >10 MHz
Options 4 and 5
- Frequency extension down to 8 MHz Two options are available to extend the 2 GHz low end frequency limit of the base models down to 8 MHz. Option 4 uses a digital down-converter (DDC) with successive divide-by-two circuitry. It offers the best phase noise performance of the two choices, at the expense of some analog performance < 500 MHz. In that range, analog sweep mode is not available, and pulse modulation performance is specified as typical. In addition, frequency and phase modulation mod index is scaled by the division ratio of each band of the DDC. Option 5 maintains all analog performance by using a heterodyne mixing down-converter, but does not improve phase noise performance.
Option 22
- If frequency coverage down to 0.1 Hz is desired, Option 22 can be added with either Option 4 or 5. Option 22 uses Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) for CW and Step Sweep modes of operation. Modulation and analog sweep are not available in the DDS band. Frequency resolution < 10 MHz is 0.02 Hz. Output power across the complete instrument frequency range is degraded by 2 dB.
