Precision You Can Trust
NABL-Accredited Calibration | Available on Request
The Rigol DSG3136B-IQ RF signal generator offers AM/FM/ØM analog modulation with a maximum frequency of 13.5 GHz. It features I/Q modulation and I/Q baseband output, providing high signal purity with phase noise measuring <-116 dBc/Hz at 20 kHz (typical). This generator is designed for precision and stability with an output range from -130 dBm to +25 dBm, ideal for communication, R&D, and production testing..
✨ Why It Helps (Cause → Effect)
Clean carrier → fewer spurs and phase errors → measurements stay honest.
Accurate level control → repeatable setups → results you can trust.
🎚️ Analog & Pulse Modulation
AM / FM / ØM (PM) built in → classic tests run fast → radios and IF chains verify quickly.
Pulse modulation option → crisp on/off keys → radar-like and burst tests stay true.
Pulse train generation → timed packets on schedule → latency and timing studies made simple.
🧭 Advanced I/Q Capability
I/Q modulation + I/Q baseband out → complex constellations on tap → realistic comms and SDR validation.
Custom mapping possible → real impairments modeled → receiver limits found sooner.
📡 Wide Frequency Reach
9 kHz → 13.5 GHz with fine steps → audio through microwave in one box → fewer gear swaps.
🧪 Where It Fits (Use → Payoff)
Comms R&D → standards-style waveforms → faster iterate-and-verify loops.
Production test → stable, pure signals → consistent pass/fail gates.
System bring-up → pulse/IQ tools → edge cases reproduced on demand.
🎯 High Signal Purity
Phase noise < −116 dBc/Hz @ 20 kHz (typ.) → cleaner carriers → minimal distortion.
Amplitude accuracy < 0.5 dB (typ.) → steady levels → repeatable results.
📡 Wide Frequency Range
9 kHz → 13.5 GHz with 0.01 Hz steps → audio to microwave in one box → no gear swaps.
🧭 I/Q Modulation & Baseband
Built-in I/Q mod + I/Q baseband out → complex constellations on tap → realistic comms testing.
🎚️ Versatile Modulation
AM, FM, PM (ØM), Pulse → cover classic and pulsed cases.
Optional pulse train + custom pulse shapes → precise timing studies made simple.
🔌 Advanced Connectivity
USB / LAN / GPIB → drop into ATE racks → SCPI control and quick scripts.
USB storage → save/load setups fast → same signal every time.
🖥️ Compact, User-Friendly Design
4.3″ TFT LCD → clear menus, quick edits.
Manual trigger, presets, help key → faster starts, fewer mistakes.
