LEADER OF RF BROADBAND SOLUTIONS

Summary

The RSGLP0120GA is an easy to use high frequency signal generator
controlled through a standard USB port. Using advanced VCO andDDS based technology along with a temperature compensatedcrystal reference, it offers ultra-low phase noise (-135dBc/Hz at
1MHz offset 1GHz output) and high frequency resolution. The unit
can also be locked to an external 10MHz reference source.
