Said to be an excellent tool for analysis of components and base stations designed for next generation 3GPP signals, the MG3681A signal generator provides five down-link 3GPP channels and two up-link channels. Covering a frequency range from 250 kHz to 3 GHz, the instrument's down-link channels include a dedicated physical channel, common pilot channel, primary common control physical channel, primary synchronization channel, and secondary synchronization channel.
The generator's uplink channels include a dedicated physical channel and primary random access channel. I/Q modulation bandwidth of the instrument is 30 MHz, while adjacent channel power rating is -68 dBc at 5 MHz offset and -75 dBc at 10 MHz offset. The MG3681A can be used for analog modulation requirements as well, with AM, FM, phase and pulse modulation available.
