ZTEC debuts 9-GHz PXI test set

摘要

The new ZT8101 RF test set from ZTEC Instruments includes three PXI instruments: the ZT8441 RF/IF digitizer, the ZT8711 LO synthesizer, and the ZT8611 RF downcon-verter. The test set-which operates from 100 MHz to 1, 3, 6, or 9 GHz-offers 1-Hz frequency resolution, a switching time faster than 100 μs, better than 75-dB spurious-free dynamic range, and a 150-MHz modulation bandwidth. Level range is -130 to +30 dBm; phase noise at 9 GHz is -103 dBc/Hz at a 10-kHz offset. ZTEC developed the product in conjunction with Astronics DME.
