TGR Series low-cost synthesised RF generators TGR2050 - 150kHz to 2000MHz
TGR1040 - 10MHz to 1000MHz
Overview
The TGR series are low cost, synthesised RF signal genera-
tors that incorporate the essential features required for most
development, test and service work; namely high frequency
accuracy and stability, wide dynamic range, low phase noise
and leakage, and flexible modulation capabilities.
The TGR2050 covers from 150kHz up to 2GHz and incorporates
AM, FM and Phase modulation (internal and external).
The wide frequency range and comprehensive modulation ca-
pabilities make it suitable for most tasks within the 2GHz spec-
trum.
The TGR1040 has a more restricted frequency range of 10MHz
to 1GHz and incorporates FM modulation only (internal and ex-
ternal). It retains the high stability and wide amplitude range of
the 2050 making it suitable for many task including FM radio re-
ceiver sensitivity measurements, system gain measurements,
receiver tuning & alignment, oscillator substitutions, EMC/an-
tenna/field strength measurements and as a signal source for
many other RF circuit and system development tasks.
Both instruments can be operated using either numeric or rotary
controls, and can be remotely controlled via either an RS-232 in-
terface or GPIB interface. Nine memories are provided for user
set-ups.
Lower cost through innovative design
The TGR series sets a new price standard for high performance
RF generators. Advanced design techniques utilising the latest
component technologies have made this possible.
The low cost makes it possible for every engineer involved in RF
design, manufacture or testing to have a generator of their own.
High Precision and Stability
The TGR series uses a fully synthesised source locked to a tem-
perature compensated crystal oscillator. This provides excellent
signal frequency stability against temperature and ageing. The
TGR2050 adds the further capability of locking to an external
10MHz source.
The frequency can be set to a resolution of 10Hz across the
whole frequency range (1kHz resolution on TGR1040).
Frequency steps can be set to any value and stepping can be
done with up/down keys or the rotary encoder.
The frequency stepping system makes operations such as pre-
cise amplitude response characterisation particularly easy.
Wide Amplitude Range & Low Leakage
The TGR series provides an amplitude range of –127dBm to
+7dBm (0·1µV to 500mV into 50W). Setting resolution is 0.1dBm
or 0.01µV.
Output level steps can be set anywhere between 0·1dBm and
100dBm (or 0·01µV to 100mV depending on the entry mode).
Stepping the level is useful for quick assessment of circuit linear-
ity and dynamic range for instance.
The advanced attenuator design provide excellent flatness over
the whole frequency range.
Meticulous internal screening provides very low output leakage
enabling accurate low level measurements in sensitive circuits
such as receivers.
Ease of use
The TGR series incorporates a simple and straightforward user
interface.
The back-lit four line display shows all the major signal parame-
ters simultaneously. Data can be entered numerically using0-9
keys or can be incremented/decremented using up/down keys or
the rotary encoder. Both frequency and output level can be ad-
justed in steps of user programmed size.
Output level can be set either in dBm or linear units of µV or mV.
A single button press will translate from one to the other.
The TGR series can store nine full instrument set-ups in
non-volatile memory. This allows repetitive testing procedures
to be undertaken quickly and accurately.
Full remote control
The TGR series provides full remote control facilities for all its
functions using both RS-232 and GPIB (IEEE-488.2) interfaces.
(GPIB is an option for the TGR1040).

ternally generated modulator signal or an external signal in the
