The Giga-tronics ASGM18A AXIe Advanced Signal Generator (ASG) is a real-time RF signal generator over the frequency range of 100 MHz to 18 GHz. With the upconverting option, it is used for emulating agile, low-noise emitters anywhere within that same wide frequency range. As an RF Upconverter, the ASGM18A can be used to generate complex, wide bandwidth signals for testing Radar and EW systems. The modular ASGM18A is built in the industry standard AXIe form factor and works in conjunction with the Giga-tronics SRM100A System Reference Module and either the CHSIS2A AXIe 2-channel or CHSIS4A AXIe 4-channel chassis for multi-channel, phase coherent operation.
