Signal Hound the release of the VSG200, a 20 GHz vector signal generator (VSG) offering 40 MHz of real-time streaming bandwidth. The VSG200 expands their popular VSG series and unlocks access to higher frequency ranges and updated features. “The VSG200 offers the performance and versatility of an enterprise-grade vector signal generator to a broad range of users,” said Harrison Osbourn, CEO. “It is a high performance test and measurement device capable of generating any signal type.” In addition, Signal Hound made a major update to their VSG software. It now includes a brand-new UI redesign, the addition of live plotting, support for SigMF file types, the ability to export waveforms and more. This complete overhaul of the software adds functionality and features — all available at no cost to users. The VSG200 is perfect for:

  • General purpose RF test and measurement and signal generation
  • Arbitrary RF waveform generation
  • Pulse/FM chirp generation
  • Amplifier EVM testing
  • CCDF
  • Channel characterization
  • Wi-Fi/Bluetooth testing
  • Manufacturing test
  • Receiver testing with signal impairments
  • Antenna pattern measurement.

With a standard operating temperature range of 32°F t o 122°F (0°C t o +50°C), and compact form factor — weighing 2.1 lbs. (0.95 kg) and measuring 8.00 x 5.14 x 1.41 in. (203 x 131 x 36 mm), the VSG200 can be utilized in a diverse range of scenarios. The VSG200 is a powerful and versatile vector signal generator that is equally well-suited to the benchtop in a lab or portable field use, opening it up to a broad range of applications.
