a wide range of applications including the testing of new digital communication systems. The 2050 combines comprehensive analog modes, AM, FM, PM and Pulse (optional), with I Q vector modulation. A digital mode using internal DSP (digital signal processing) is provided to convert digital data into complex modulation formats as shown in the following table.
In Vector mode the signal generator accepts I and Q modulation inputs with 10 MHz, 1 dB bandwidth. This precision modulator enables any modulation characteristic to be simulated with a high degree of accuracy, typical vector errors of less than 0.5% are possible. The excellent temperature stability and drift characteristics of the modulator ensure calibrated signals are always available making this the ideal choice for demanding research and development applications as well as in manufacturing of digital communications systems.
