50Ω -70 dBm to +15 dBm, 1-6000 MHz Key Features Synthesized Signal Generator The Big Deal

  • USB or Ethernet-TCP/IP (HTTP and Telnet protocols) control
  • Wideband generator with

3 Hz frequency resolution

  • 85 dB dynamic range
  • Internal & External pulse modulation
  • Cost effective signal generator Wideband, USB/Ethernet Product Overview Mini-Circuits SSG-6001RC is a wideband synthesized signal generator operating over a frequency range of 1 to 6000 MHz. The signal generator is cased in a rugged metal shielded package (11” x 8.5” x 2.15”) and equipped with an N-type 50Ω connector at the RF output port. The signal generator is supplied with a CD containing user friendly GUI control software and programming APIs for 32 and 64 bit environments. Using the supplied software, the user can easily select one of several different output modes including multiple pulse modulation options, frequency sweep, and power sweep (up, down, or bidirectional). The SSG-6001RC can be controlled from almost any Windows or Linux PC, via USB 2.0 interface, or any computer with a network interface via HTTP or Telnet. Included with the generator are a 2.7 ft. USB cable, a 5 ft. Ethernet cable and a 12V power adapter. Longer USB cables and a mounting bracket are available as additional options. Feature Advantages Wide output power dynamic range Dynamic range 85 dB, output power from -70 dBm to +15 dBm in 0.25 dB steps USB HID (Human Interface Device) Plug-and-Play (no need to install a driver for the device). Ethernet-TCP/IP- HTTP and Telnet Protocols (Supports DHCP and Static IP) The SSG-6001RC signal generator can be controlled from any Windows ®, Mac®, or Linux® computer, or even a mobile device with a network connection and Ethernet-TCP/IP (HTTP or Telnet protocols) support. Using a VPN would allow remote control from anywhere in the world. Good Sub-Harmonics Good Sub Harmonics (-84 dBc typ, -40 dBc max) reduces the need to filter the generator output signal. Pulse modulation options The SSG-6001RC can produce pulse modulated RF using internal or external modulating signal Multiple sweep options The SSG-6001RC can be set to sweep either power or frequency up, down, or bidirectionally. Software CD with program instructions for various operating systems The unit is supplied with a CD containing a user friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) control program and API objects for Windows ® operating systems. Programming instructions are included for 32 and 64 bit versions of Linux® and Windows® operating systems. The SSG-6001RC is compatible with LabVIEW®, Delphi®, C++, C#, Visual Basic®, .NET software and more; for other operating environments and languages please contact our applications department for support.

3 Settling time - transition time between 2 output states. During the transition, RF output is turned off to avoid transient outputs. 4 Dwell time - duration of each signal point in a Sweep or Hop sequence set by user. Default is minimum dwell time. 5 Generator response time is Dwell time + Settling Time. 6 The generator is calibrated within typical power range, however performance is guaranteed only within power max/min limits. 7 Max power over 4500 MHz derates linearly to +9 dBm at 6000 MHz. See max power graph on page 7 for illustration.
