The EIP 1140A-SY12 VXIBus Synthesized Microwave Frequency Generator is a message-based VXI module designed for generating precise microwave signals within a VXI environment. It offers automated control via SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) type commands, making it suitable for ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) applications. This instrument requires a VXIbus mainframe for operation and is a C-size, 3-wide plug-in module. It supports a variety of external modulation inputs, including AM, FM, Pulse, and complex modulation, as well as an IF input for complex digital signals or jamming scenarios.
