The 3020 Series are compact 3U high precision PXI modular RF signal generators with integrated dual-channel arbitrary waveform generator, (AWG). Their functionality and performance are ideally matched to the needs of RF test systems for R&D manufacturing and design verification.The 3020 Series support applications in the frequency range 100 kHz to 6 GHz, provide output power control ranging from -120 dBm to +17 dBm and support modulation bandwidths of up to 90 MHz.

Comprehensive modulation capability is provided including internal analog AM/FM modulation, digital modulation and IQ vector modulation modes. Digital modulated signals are generated from either an integrated dual channel AWG or from external digital I&Q inputs. Analog I and Q vector modulation inputs are provided as an option. Modulated RF bandwidths of up to 90 MHz are supported ideal for multicarrier or wideband signal applications. The dual-channel AWG can optionally provide differential I and Q baseband outputs simultaneously with a CW RF signal, ideally suited for testing IQ modulators. Each 3020 Series module is used together with a single slot wide 3010/3011 RF synthesizer module to provide a low phase noise, frequency agile local oscillator input.
