Signal Hound, a manufacturer of precision test equipment, has released the VSG200, a 20 GHz vector signal generator (VSG) offering 40 MHz of real-time streaming bandwidth. The VSG200 expands their popular VSG series and unlocks access to higher frequency ranges and updated features.
“The VSG200 offers the performance and versatility of an enterprise-grade vector signal generator to a broad range of users,” said Harrison Osbourn, CEO. “It is a high-performance test and measurement device capable of generating any signal type.”
In addition, Signal Hound made a major update to their VSG software. It now includes a brand-new UI redesign, the addition of live plotting, support for SigMF file types, the ability to export waveforms and more. This complete overhaul of the software adds functionality and features — all available at no cost to users.
The VSG200 is perfect for:
