1.1 Brief Description
The MG3641A/MG3642A is a synthesized signal generator capable of outputing highly accurate, highly pure signals
over a broad frequency range.
The extremely excellent spurious characteristics and leakage characteristics offer to make the signal generator most
suitable to evaluate sensitivity characteristics and interference characteristics, which comprise the basic performance
of radio equipment.
Meanwhile, the signal generator can also be used to test communication systems operating with a variety of modulation
methods, such as a pager system, since it provides diverse modulation functions and frequency modulation with good
carrier frequency stability.
Its output level can be corrected over the entire frequency range. Because the signal generator allows to select high
level outputs and high resolutions, it can also serve to test various high frequency components.
The generator displays its basic functions, such as frequency, output level, and memory addresses, on a 7-segment
display unit. For those functions which require to have many parameters set, such as modulation, sweep function,
etc., it adopts the multimenu display. Moreover, the generator boasts of an outstanding operability, since it comes
equipped with a dedicated rotary knob and step keys for setting output levels.
