Additional product details

The YSG-H060 features a 10.1-inch multi-touch display and an intuitive interface. At a weight of only 1.4 kg, it is ideal for both laboratory and field applications.

The YSG-H060 delivers top-tier RF performance, including wide output power range, low harmonics, low phase noise, and excellent spur suppression. The YSG-H060 delivers excellent performance and portability while maintaining outstanding cost-effectiveness.

The YSG-H060 comes standard with a wide range of essential test signal generation functions, including single tone, multi-tone, frequency sweep, power sweep, digital ramp sweep, pulse modulation, and Gaussian white noise. Additionally, the series supports analog modulation schemes such as AM, FM, and PM, alongside robust IQ playback and real-time streaming capabilities.

On the YSG-H060, 1 GHz phase noise is -124 dBc/Hz@10 kHz; maximum output power is 7 dBm to 14 dBm, 25 dBm (opt.); minimum output power is ≤-100 dBm across the full frequency range; harmonics are ≤-50 dBc (0 dBm output, typical). The YSG-H060 supports fine reference frequency adjustment, and its built-in GNSS serves timing, positioning, and frequency calibration. The YSG-H060 RF output is marked RF OUT 50Ω and 10 VDC MAX.

SGStudio software

SGStudio features a user-friendly interface designed for ease operation. The GUI is logically organized into five key functional areas: the Menu bar, RF parameter settings, mode selection, mode parameter settings, and status information.

SGStudio provides comprehensive RF control, supporting single tone, frequency sweep, and power sweep modes. It simplifies complex characterization tasks, enabling users to perform automated frequency response and compression point testing directly through the GUI-eliminating the need for custom programming.

SGStudio supports continuous real-time waveform streaming from the host for playback, as well as waveform buffering in the device’s internal memory for subsequent playback. Buffered playback supports wider signal bandwidth and requires no host intervention during playback, thereby fully freeing host processing resources. In buffered playback mode, the maximum waveform length is limited by the capacity of the device’s internal memory.

Signal output functions

Engineered for versatility, the YSG-H060 supports an extensive library of modulation schemes, ranging from fundamental ASK, FSK, and PSK to high-order 1024QAM. The architecture is specifically optimized for modern wireless standards, with support for DSSS and OFDM to facilitate advanced signal generation for both field testing and R&D verification.

The YSG-H060 supports analog modulation formats, including AM, FM, and PM. Each of the three modulation types supports a variety of modulation signal formats, with configurable parameters including modulation rate, modulation index, frequency deviation, phase deviation, and initial phase, accommodating routine analog modulation signal generation and RF testing requirements.

The YSG-H060 supports basic pulse signal output with configurable pulse repetition period, duty cycle, and pulse width.

The YSG-H060 supports the generation of multi-tone RF signals composed of multiple discrete tones. Users can configure the number of tones, tone spacing, and phase mode. In-band notches can also be configured relative to the RF center frequency, making this function suitable for dynamic range, intermodulation distortion, and frequency-response flatness testing.

The YSG-H060 supports linear digital ramp frequency sweeps with configurable sweep span, sweep time, and sweep period. This function is suitable for radar signal simulation, wideband excitation, and frequency-response testing.
