Description

GSG-2160-GPIB | 6 GHz RF signal generator, digital IQ modulation, incl. GPIB interface, GSG-2000 series

The GW Instek GSG-2160 is the top model in the GSG-2000 series of RF signal generators. It was specially developed for demanding applications in the field of RF and digital signal generation. With its extended functionality, especially in the area of digital modulation, the GSG-2160 clearly stands out from the GSG-2060. It is ideal for advanced testing in digital communication, IoT applications and automotive technology.

Product features of the GSG-2160-GPIB:

  • Frequency range: 9 kHz to 6 GHz
  • Frequency resolution: 1 mHz
  • Amplitude: -140 dBm to +20 dBm with a resolution of 0.01 dBm
  • Phase noise: Typically -117 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz and 20 kHz offset
  • Frequency stability: 10 ppm as standard, optionally 10 ppb with OCXO oscillator
  • Advanced digital modulation capabilities:
    • Supports digital modulation types such as ASK, PSK, APSK, QAM, FSK and MSK.
    • Enables user-defined IQ and FSK modulation signals.
  • Bandwidth:
    • Up to 60 MHz baseband IQ output
    • Up to 120 MHz RF IQ modulation
  • Other functions:
    • Analog modulations: AM, FM, PM
    • Pulse and LF signal output (sine, square, triangle, Gaussian noise)
  • Connections:
    • USB, LAN, GPIB
    • SCPI-compatible commands for remote control
  • Display: 7-inch TFT LCD for a clear display of all parameters

Product comparison: GSG-2160 and GSG-2060

While the GSG-2060 is designed as a precise and versatile signal generator for analog tests, the GSG-2160 offers significantly extended functions, especially in the area of digital modulations:

  • Digital modulation:
    • The GSG-2160 supports a variety of modern digital modulation signals (ASK, PSK, APSK, QAM, FSK, MSK), which is lacking in GSG-2060.
    • User-defined modulations are only possible with GSG-2160.
  • Bandwidth:
    • GSG-2060: Designed for basic applications with analog modulations and baseband signals.
    • GSG-2160: Ideal for complex digital signals with high bandwidth up to 120 MHz.
  • Application areas:
    • The GSG-2060 is excellent for general RF component testing, while the GSG-2160 is perfect for validating modern digital communication systems and IoT applications.

Applications of the GSG-2160:

The GSG-2160 is specifically designed for complex and highly dynamic application fields:

  • Digital communication: Ideal for developing and testing modern digital transmission systems.
  • IoT applications: Perfect for validating wireless IoT devices and networks.
  • Automotive: Supports testing of advanced communication and sensor systems.
  • Education and Research: Enables simulation of complex modulation signals for academia.
