RF signal generators

General information

Radio frequency signal generators are widely used in research and measurement laboratories, telecommunications, industrial manufacturing and many other industries. Modern models of high-frequency generators make it possible to form pure sinusoidal signals with frequencies from fractions of a Hz to hundreds of GHz. Most oscillator models also allow you to modulate the output signal by any of the standard methods (AM, FM and PM). Pulse modulation (PM) is also available on many models, but is usually available as an option.

Vector signal generators belong to a separate group of high-frequency generators. The frequency range of these devices usually does not exceed 10 GHz, but they can modulate the output signal using a wide range of digital (vector) modulation types (QAM, PSK, etc.). The main purpose of vector generators is the development, production and maintenance of modern wireless data transmission systems: mobile communications, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.

All generators presented on this page belong to the category measuring generators since they normalize the main parameters of the output signal: amplitude, frequency, distortion, and others.

Tehencom company supplies the most modern laboratory high-frequency (HF and microwave) signal generators, as well as functional signal generators (special and arbitrary form). Our experts will help you choose the optimal configuration of the device and additional options.
