The signal generator is cased in a compact, rugged metal shielded package (5.1 x 3.6 x 1.0) and equipped with an SMA(F) 50 connector at the RF output port and starts immediately when power is applied. 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-15G-RC can be controlled from almost any Windows or Linux PC, via USB interface, or any computer with a network interface via HTTP, Telnet or SSH. Included with the generator are a 6.6 ft. USB cable, two SMB-BNC cables for trigger and reference, and a 6V power adapter. See page 9 for all accessories and order options available. Key Features Feature Advantages USB HID and Ethernet (HTTP / Telnet / SSH) interfaces provide easy compatibility with a wide USB & Ethernet control range of software setups and programming environments. The SSG-15G-RC can produce pulse modulated RF signals using an internal or external modu- Pulse modulation options lating pulse. Multiple sweep options The SSG-15G-RC can be set to sweep either power or frequency up, down, or bidirectionally.

During the transition, RF output is turned off to avoid transient outputs. 3 For sweep / hop sequences pre-loaded into internal memory (high speed mode). 4 Generator response time is Dwell time + Settling Time. 5 Dwell time - duration of each signal point in a Sweep or Hop sequence set by user. Default is minimum dwell time. 6 The generator is calibrated within typical power range, however performance is guaranteed only within power max/min limits. 7 At power steps below 0.5 dB increased non-monotonic behavior may be observed. 8 USB min communication time is based on the polling interval of the USB HID protocol(125 s polling interval, 1024 bytes per packet), medium CPU load and no other high speed USB devices using the USB bus.
