APPH Models - up to 40 GHz
1 MHz to 40 GHz Signal Source Analyzer
The APPH is a fully self-contained signal source analyzer with models from
1 MHz up to 7, 26 or 40 GHz. It offers an indispensable set of measurement functions for evaluating signal sources, (ranging from VHF to microwave frequencies) but also active and passive nonself oscillating devices like amplifiers, or frequency dividers. A mixed-signal system architecture with a FPGA cross-spectrum engine enables very fast signal processing and ultra-low phase noise sensitivity.
Built-in programmable power supplies and low-noise tuning voltages make the unit extremely flexible and easy to use.
