Precision You Can Trust
NABL-Accredited Calibration | Available on Request
The Rigol DSG836 RF signal generator offers standard AM/FM/ØM analog modulation with a maximum frequency of 3.6 GHz. It provides a high signal purity with phase noise measuring <-105 dBc/Hz @ 20 kHz (typical), a wide output range of -110 dBm to +13 dBm, and an optional pulse modulation with an on/off ratio of up to 70dB. The DSG836 is equipped with USB-Host, USB-device, and LAN interfaces for versatile connectivity. It is suitable for a wide range of RF applications, including communications, R&D, and production testing..
✨ What It Does
Generates precise RF signals → your tests stay clear → your readings stay trusted.
🧠 Modulation Options
AM/FM/ØM built in → one box, many signals → faster setups.
Optional pulse mod → up to ~70 dB on/off → sharp bursts on cue.
🧼 Signal Quality
Phase noise ≈ −105 dBc/Hz @ 20 kHz (typ.) → quiet carrier → cleaner measurements → fewer false clues.
📶 Output Range
−110 dBm to +13 dBm → tiny levels for sensitive receivers → strong levels for tough rigs.
📏 Accuracy & Stability
Amplitude ≈ ±0.5 dB (typ.) → levels stay honest → repeat runs match.
Stable PLL → frequency stays put → results stay consistent.
🔌 Plug & Control
USB-Host, USB-Device, and LAN → quick connect → easy scripts → smooth rack integration.
🏗️ Where It Fits
Comms labs, R&D benches, classrooms, production lines → one generator → many jobs.
🧳 Form Factor
Compact body, light weight → tidy benches → easy field carry.
✨ Standard Analog Modulation
AM/FM/ØM built in → one box, many RF signals → faster setup, fewer tools.
🎯 Pulse Modulation (Optional)
Add pulse mod → on/off depth to ~70 dB → sharp bursts on cue → build custom pulse trains.
🧼 High Signal Purity
Phase noise ~ −105 dBc/Hz @ 20 kHz (typ.) → quiet carrier → minimal distortion → truer readings.
📶 Wide Output Range
−110 dBm to +13 dBm → tiny levels for sensitive receivers → strong levels for rugged gear.
📏 Amplitude Accuracy
≈ ±0.5 dB (typ.) → levels stay honest → repeated tests match → trust your numbers.
🧩 Modulation Sources
Internal or external drive → AM/FM/ØM from inside the box or your source → simpler wiring, more choice.
🖱️ Easy-To-Use Interface
Clear screen + intuitive controls → find settings fast → test sooner, tweak less.
🧳 Compact & Lightweight
Small body, low weight → tidy benches → easy carry for field work.
