Aeroflex adds avionics waveforms to its S-Series SGA signal generators

Aeroflex Limited has added avionics waveforms to its S-Series SGA family. The SGA is a high specification analog RF signal generator and is also reliable and repeatable signal source solution for general-purpose, aerospace, and military test applications in laboratory, factory, and field environments to test important navigation functions.

Aeroflex says the SGA analog signal generators with Option 6 provides internal generation of waveforms required for testing avionics functions and also have new options such as waveforms for Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), VHF Omni-directional Radio (VOR), marker beacons, and COM ID tones for airport identification. Avionics parameters are presented in the same form as described in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards.

Aeroflex feels the SGA with Option 6 offers an ideal single instrument solution for testing avionics receivers and airfield alarm monitors. Digitally generated modulating waveforms ensure excellent accuracy and stable performance under all operating conditions.

As per Aeroflex S-Series RF signal generator family offers simplicity, portability, modularity, and RF performance at an attractive price. The first in the series is the Aeroflex SGA analog RF signal generators claims Aeroflex .

Aeroflex says the intuitive LCD touch screen interface allows modulated or swept RF signals to be set up using fewer keystrokes than required by traditional soft key models, thus saving the engineer's time and reducing the risk of error.

A modular format, featuring the new Aerolock locking mechanism, allows additional RF instruments such as a second signal generator and combiner to be mechanically coupled externally by the user.

Price and availability:
The Aeroflex SGA is currently available in two models: the SGA 3, which has an operating frequency range of 100 kHz - 3 GHz, and the SGA 6 covering 100 kHz - 6GHz.
