The 12720A is a 20 GHz RF Generator from Gigatronics. An RF generator is a tool engineers use to generate sinusoidal outputs while testing electronic equipment. The output will automatically have its frequency varied or swept between frequencies. A “sweep” is one complete cycle of a frequency variation. Engineers use RF signal generators as test equipment, mostly to measure responses of filters, amplifiers, and electrical components.
Additional Features:
Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 20 GHz
CW OPERATION
Range: 0.01 to 8 GHz, 2 to 8 GHz, .01 to 20 GHz, and 2 to 20 GHz
Accuracy and Stability: Identical to time base oscillator
Time Base (Internal): 10 MHz
Aging Rate: <5 X 10-10/day after 72 hours of continuous oven operation
Temperature Stability: <±2 X 10-10/°C (0 to +55°C)
Time Base (External): 5 or 10 MHz (±1 X 10-6 or better) 0.5 to 5 Vpp into 100 ω (Nominal)
Switching Time List Mode: <500 μs to within 1 kHz of set frequency
Switching Time CW Mode: <35 ms to within 1 kHz of set frequency (includes IEEE overhead)
RF OUTPUT (CW)
Incremental Level Range: –20 (typ) to +25 dBm
Resolution: 0.01 dB, entry and display
Minimum Calibrated Output Level: –10 dBm; –120 dBm (with Option 26)
RF Off: Attenuates the output to <–140 dBm at the output connector
