The GW Instek GSG-2060 is part of the GSG-2000 RF signal generator series, which offers frequency coverage from 9 kHz to 6 GHz. It is specifically designed for applications in communications, automotive, IoT development and for testing RF components such as amplifiers, antennas and filters.
With its precise analog signal options, the GSG-2060 is an ideal choice for basic testing and development. However, if you want to test digital applications with advanced requirements, the GSG-2160 is the right choice. Both models combine high quality with ease of use and offer excellent performance for different applications.

Product Comparison: GSG-2060 and GSG-2160
The GSG-2160 extends the features of the GSG-2060 with advanced digital modulation capabilities:
- Digital modulation (GSG-2160 only): Supports advanced digital modulation types such as ASK, PSK, APSK, QAM, FSK, MSK as well as user-defined IQ and FSK signals. The GSG-2060, on the other hand, focuses on analog modulations.
- Maximum bandwidth:
- GSG-2060: Supports basic modulations for baseband applications.
- GSG-2160: Up to 60 MHz baseband IQ output and 120 MHz RF IQ modulation.
- Application areas: The GSG-2060 is primarily suitable for standard applications such as RF component testing, while the GSG-2160 is ideal for digital communication systems.
