The Anritsu MG3710A is a vector signal generator covering 100 kHz to a maximum frequency of 2.7 GHz, 4 GHz, or 6 GHz depending on the installed RF option. It is offered with optional second-SG capability, allowing two independent signal generator paths within a single instrument chassis, and supports analog modulation (AM, FM, PM, pulse) alongside vector modulation for digitally modulated signals.
The MG3710A is used for transmitter and receiver testing across multiple wireless standards documented in this datasheet, including W-CDMA, GSM/EDGE, CDMA2000/1xEV-DO, LTE FDD, 802.11a/g, 802.11n, and 802.16e Mobile WiMAX. Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR) and Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) performance is characterized for each of these standards in the datasheet, supporting applications in cellular base station and mobile device development, WLAN device characterization, and general RF component evaluation.
Anritsu is a Japanese precision measurement company founded in 1895, with deep heritage in RF and microwave instrumentation. Its current product line incorporates technology and product families acquired through the 1993 acquisition of Wiltron Company, a respected US-based RF and microwave instrument manufacturer, which expanded Anritsu's signal generator, network analyzer, and microwave test portfolio.
