The IFR-Aeroflex 2023 is a portable and lightweight synthesized signal generator covering the frequency range 9 kHz to 1.2 GHz. A dot matrix display with a comprehensive set of utility menus allow flexibility of operation and ease of use. The RF output can be amplitude, frequency, phase or pulse modulated. An internal programmable AF source is capable of generating simultaneous two-tone modulation. All parameters can be entered from a front panel keyboard and a rotary control can be used to adjust most settings. Microprocessor control ensures that the instruments are flexible and easy to use and allows programming by either the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) or by RS-232. The GPIB is designed to IEEE Standard 488.2. The interfaces allow remote control of all functions except the supply switch, and allow the instruments to be used either manually or as part of a fully automated test system. RF output up to +13 dBm can be set by direct keyboard entry with a resolution of 0.1 dB over the entire range. For instruments fitted with the high power option, RF output is increased to +25 dBm. A carrier ON/OFF key is provided to completely disable the output. Specifications. Carrier frequency Range: 9 kHz to 1.2 GHz. Resolution: 1 Hz. Accuracy: Equal to the frequency standard accuracy. RF output Range: -140 dBm to +13 dBm ( When AM is selected the maximum RF output level decreases linearly with increasing AM depth to +7 dBm at 99.9% depth). RF output Resolution: 0.1 dB. RF output Accuracy: For output levels above -127 dBm and over a temperature range of 17 to 27°C, ±0.8 dB to 1.2 GHz. Harmonics: Typically better than -30 dBc for RF levels up to +7 dBm, Typically better than -25 dBc for RF levels up to +13 dBm. GPIB: All functions except the supply switch are remotely programmable. Option 1: No attenuator. Option 2: DC operation. Option 3: High power. Option 4: High stability frequency standard. Option 5: Rear panel connectors. Option 7: Fast pulse modulation. Option 10: 1 V peak mod input. Option 11: Fast pulse and high power. Option 100: Internal pulse generator.
