PXIe Modular Signal Generation for Broadband RF and Microwave Systems

The YSG-5451 is a high-performance PXIe microwave analog signal generator designed for broadband RF and microwave test systems. It delivers continuous-wave output across a 9 kHz to 45 GHz range while maintaining fine frequency and power control, making it suitable for bench validation and automated test environments.

The platform supports analog modulation modes including AM, FM, and PM, with integrated narrow-pulse modulation capability down to 100 ns minimum pulse width. Its dual-slot 3U PXIe architecture allows independent frequency and power control for each channel, enabling scalable ATE configurations and synchronized multi-channel test systems.
