The Anritsu MG3700A Vector Signal Generator is a benchtop RF signal source covering 250 kHz to 3 GHz as standard, with an optional extension to 6 GHz. Built around a 160 MHz arbitrary waveform generator with wide vector modulation bandwidth and large-capacity baseband memory, the MG3700A is designed to generate digital modulation signals across a wide range of wireless communication systems, supporting evaluation of mobile communications devices including cellular phones and wireless LAN equipment.
A signal generator creates the controlled test signals used to stimulate a device under test. The MG3700A is intended for receiver characteristic evaluation across mobile communication and wireless LAN technologies. Anritsu lists applications including W-CDMA/HSDPA, GSM/EDGE, CDMA2000 1X/1xEV-DO, IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN, PDC, PHS, Bluetooth, GPS, and digital broadcast formats (ISDB-T, BS, CS, CATV). Additional waveform pattern options and IQproducer software licenses extend coverage to TD-SCDMA, public radio systems (RCR STD-39, ARIB STD-T61/T79/T86), Mobile WiMAX, LTE FDD, LTE TDD, LTE-Advanced, DVB-T/H, fading channel simulation, multi-carrier composites, and next-generation PHS (XGP).
ValueTronics has supplied test and measurement equipment since 1992 from our 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois. Every {{CONDITION}} MG3700A in our inventory is handled in-house by our technical staff, with documentation and condition reporting performed at our Elgin facility rather than drop-shipped from a third-party broker. That direct control over inventory and inspection workflow is the reason engineers managing RF and wireless test programs return to ValueTronics across procurement cycles.
Anritsu is a Japanese precision measurement company with roots reaching back to 1895. Its position in RF and microwave instrumentation was significantly expanded by the 1993 acquisition of Wiltron Company, which brought network analyzer and signal generator technology and a North American commercial presence under the Anritsu brand.
