Signal Source DS

Signal Sources
Model: ELE-SRC-DS

Our Signal Source devices address a broad spectrum of measurement system requirements. The ELE-SRC-DS provides extremely low phase noise and high output power across the full 0.01 to 20.0 GHz frequency range. Fast, predictable frequency switching makes it particularly suited for automated microwave measurement systems.

Designed to be used in situations where agile RF/microwave frequency tuning is required, the DS model provides a fast and accurate signal generation solution for wireless, satellite, radar, automated testing and other microwave measurement applications.
