TG6000, A Generic Tracking Signal Generator

The DS Instruments Tracking Generator, 6GHz enables users to generate a tracking signal >6GHz using their Spectrum Analyzer (SA). Preprogrammed settings support a large number of existing SA s.

In addition it is possible for the user to configure the instrument for other analyzers using the provided PC software and USB interface.

The TG6000 covers the fundamental band (Band 0) and Band 1 of the users SA.

Ease of Use

The user connects the Spectrum Analyzers 1st LO and its 10MHz to the TG6000. Selection of SA Model is done by rear panel rotary switches.

A TG signal is now active at the TG OUT port of the instrument. With the users DUT inserted between the TG output and the SA input the DUT frequency response is automatically traced on the users SA display.

No PC is needed to operate the TG6000 as a tracking signal source.

Signal Generator Operation

The TG6000 can operate as a broad band RF signal generator with the output frequency controlled via rear panel USB port. The SG output is fully synthesized and locked to the applied or internal 10Mhz reference.

A provided Software application allows the user to set the frequency of the SG OUT port. Frequency output covers from 25MHz to 6.0 GHz.

The USB port is configured as a virtual COM port which supports industry standard SCPI commands for frequency and level.
