The Instek GSG-2160 6GHz RF Vector Signal Generator with Digital I/Q Modulation (10ppm) with GPIB covers a frequency range from 9kHz to 6GHz. It is suitable for applications in communications education, RF component testing (such as amplifiers, antennas, and filters), automotive electronic signal testing, and IoT applications. It meets the testing requirements of RF products during production and development stages. Compared to its main competitors, the GSG-2160 offers superior specifications including a wide amplitude output range of +20dBm to -140dBm, lower phase noise of -117dBc/Hz, and high frequency accuracy with 10ppm frequency stability and 2ppm aging rate.

For the signal modulation, the GSG-2160 has built-in AM, FM, and PM analog modulation, and it features a digital signal modulation function with a maximum bandwidth of 60MHz digital signal output, supporting ASK, PSK, APSK, QAM, FSK, MSK, User-defined IQ, User-defined FSK modulation signals. Furthermore, the GSG-2160 also provides LF signal and Pulse signal output. The LF signal allows users to output Sine, Square, Triangle/Ramp, Gaussian Noise signals, and the Pulse signal output can simulate pulse wave applications of various widths. In addition to the above signal outputs, the GSG-2060 also provides AM/FM/digital IQ signal input, as well as independent output ports for digital I or Q signals.

The GSG-2160 adopts a seven-inch TFT LCD display that can fully display the parameters and status set by the user, and the series also provides USB, LAN, and GPIB communications interfaces, and provides standard SCPI-compatible commands to support remote control. The GSG-2160 is designed for 3U high standard rack size.
