RF Signal Generators for Receiver, Transceiver, and Component Test

XGY Tek supplies portable, benchtop, and modular RF signal generators to labs worldwide working on 5G, satellite, radar, aerospace, receiver, and component programs. The portfolio spans CW stimulus, vector modulation, pulse modulation, IQ streaming, and low-phase-noise frequency references from 9 kHz to 44 GHz by model.

Selection should document frequency band, output range from low-level receiver sensitivity work to +17 dBm class drive, phase-noise target such as -110 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset and 10 GHz where applicable, 0.001 Hz frequency-resolution need, modulation format, trigger behavior, reference clock, attenuation path, and SCPI control.

The acceptance file should include calibration status, output power check at at least 3 levels, frequency accuracy check, modulation or pulse check, and a scriptable setup state before the source is used in production evidence. For source selection, see our RF signal generator guide.

Calibration documentation and RF support scope are confirmed during quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What signal generators does XGY Tek offer?
Our catalogue includes the YSG-P400 series portable RF signal generators (9 kHz-44 GHz) for field receiver test and remote stimulus; the YSG-400B and YSG-5451 benchtop sources for laboratory R&D with vector modulation, pulse shaping, and IQ streaming; and the YSG-140 low-phase-noise frequency source for clean local-oscillator and reference clock duty. PXIe-based signal sources are also available through our modular test instruments line.
When do I need a low-phase-noise frequency source like the YSG-140?
Low-phase-noise sources are required whenever phase noise on the LO directly limits the measurement floor - receiver sensitivity, radar Doppler resolution, jitter-sensitive ADC clocking, and atomic-clock or quantum-readout chains. The YSG-140 is engineered specifically for these workloads, delivering reference-grade phase noise that lets your spectrum analyzer or VNA hit its rated performance rather than inheriting source noise.
Can XGY signal generators integrate with existing test rigs?
Yes - all XGY signal generators expose standard SCPI command interfaces and ship with Windows and Linux integration libraries. Python and LabVIEW drivers are available, and the units can serve as drop-in replacements for legacy Keysight or R&S sources in most automated test scripts. For custom PXIe rack builds or full ATE integration, see our Custom Automation service or request a quote.
What should be checked before using a signal generator for receiver sensitivity?
Check output level accuracy, external attenuation, cable loss, modulation setup, trigger timing, reference clock, calibration status, and whether the receiver input plane has been defined. Low-level tests fail easily when the loss budget is assumed.
When is phase noise the controlling specification?
Phase noise controls the result when testing radar Doppler, reciprocal mixing, jitter-sensitive clocks, high-order modulation, low-noise receivers, and narrowband measurements near a carrier. In those cases, output power alone is not a useful source specification.
