The Instek GSG-2160AUX 6GHz RF Vector Signal Generator with Digital I/Q Modulation (0.1ppm) 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-2160AUX offers superior specifications including a wide amplitude output range of +20dBm to -140dBm and lower phase noise of -117dBc/Hz. This OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator) option provides high frequency accuracy with 10ppb stability and 0.1ppm aging rate.

For the signal modulation, the GSG-2160AUX has built-in AM, FM, and PM analog modulation. Furthermore, the GSG-2160AUX 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-2160AUX also provides AM/FM/digital IQ signal input, as well as independent output ports for digital I or Q signals.

The GSG-2160AUX 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-2160AUX is designed for 3U high standard rack size.
