📋 Tender Overview
Anritsu Corporation introduces the RubidiumTM signal generator family that delivers outstanding signal purity and frequency stability even at high output power levels across a broad frequency range of 9 kHz to 43.5 GHz. Coupled with built-in easy-to-use at-location frequency and power calibration capability Rubidium offers exceptional overall utility and long-term value in a broad range of commercial and militaryaerospace measurement applications. Groundbreaking Performance Signal purity is critical to a wide range of measurement applications ranging from radar testing to testing of ADCs and DACs. The Rubidium signal generator offers groundbreaking low single sideband SSB phase noise of -136 dBcHz typical and -140 dBcHz measured at 10 GHz and 10 kHz offset that is unmatched in the industry. Coupled with best-in-class harmonic and spurious performance the Rubidium signal generator enables customers to make measurements with better accuracy.The Rubidium offers an order of magnitude with better frequency stability compared to other signal generators that use an OCXO based reference. This exceptional frequency stability is achieved either by an optional internal Rubidium reference or by locking the signal generators time base to a 1 PPS reference from an optional internal GNSSGPS atomic clock receiver. Utility Ease of Use and Long-Term ValueThe Rubidium signal generator features built-in on-site frequency and level calibration that is easily accessible with the touch of a button on the GUI interface. This feature ensures customer level accurate frequency desired timesaving enhancing convenience and increasing instrument availability. An Anritsu CW USB power sensor is required for onsite level calibration. An internal GNSSGPS atomic clock receiver or ultra-stability rubidium time base option is required for onsite frequency calibration.The Rubidiums AM FMPM and pulse modulation capabilities enables a wide range of complex analog modulated signals. An internal low frequency generator can generate seven different waveform types to modulate the carrier. Additionally simultaneous modulation of AMFM AMPM or FMPulse is possible to generate complex modulation waveforms such as chirps. Broad signal simulation capabilities are built into the signal generator for pulsed radar testing.The Rubidium is housed in a 3U chassis with a 7-inch touch screen on the front panel with a traditional keypaddial interface. A wide range of options are offered to achieve optimum cost-to-function and measurement flexibility.Wide Range of ApplicationsThe Rubidium signal generator can be used in a variety of applications. It is ideal for applications which require low phase noise such as testing radar subsystems updown converters or high-speed ADCsDACs. The signal generator is well suited for conducting nonlinear measurements without additional filters because of the exceptionally low harmonic subharmonic and non-harmonic performance at standard and high output power levels. They can be used for a variety of interference measurements as a signal source to test devices and systems and as a frequency reference in calibration and metrology labs.
