HP 8780A Vector Signal Generator, Synthesized. 10MHz To 3GHz With 1Hz Resolution. BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, Digital Modulation, Pulse Modulation (1nS Risetimes) +10 to -100dBm Output. 700MHz of Arbitrary Modulation Using Vector OR I,Q Inputs. (Last Sold by HP for $71,400) With Option 002 (+10dBm Coherent Carrier Output - at Over $3,000 Value) And Option 064 (64 QAM Modulation - at Over $3,000 Value) The HP 8780A vector signal generator is a synthesized IF source with exceptional modulation for modern receiver and component testing. It is capable of modulation bandwidths almost 100 times wider than previous synthesizers. It has built-in mapping to simplify generation of common digital modulation formats. It's extra-wide modulation bandwidth comes from a vector modulator that effectively doubles baseband modulation bandwidths for 700 MHz of output modulation. The vector signal generator' wideband modulation is complemented with an unmodulated coherent carrier output for demodulation of test signals. The HP 8780A vector signal generator offers a wide variety of modulation using both digital and analog inputs. It generates many standard digital modulation formats like QPSK and 16 QAM and traditional modulation like FM, AM, and pulse. By combining the different modulation types, signals as diverse as Barker-coded radar pulses and Doppler-shifted satellite signals can be simulated. The HP 8780A vector signal generator is well suited for receiver measurements where wideband or complex modulations are required. It can be used as a calibrated transmitter to test modern radar EW receivers or communication receivers using vector I/Q modulation techniques. It provides a stable, coherent carrier for pulse measurement. * 10 MHz to 3 GHz IF testing * BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, digital modulation and pulse * Direct-sequence spread spectrum modulation with chip widths to 7 ns * Pulse modulation with 1 ns rise times * 700 MHz modulation bandwidth using I/Q or vector * Wideband FM: over 200 MHz p-p deviations * Optional analog phase modulation for satellite telemetry * Tested Good With Guarantee. -10 /day after 10 day warm-up for internal reference <220 ms, <100 ms in fast mode (typical) Note: in the fast mode, output level accuracy is not specified. <5 x 10 -10 /(+5%-10%) (typical) RF Output Level Specifications (+12 to -100 dBm with Opt 064) ±2.5 dB for levels >=-30 dBm, ±3.5 dB for levels <-30 dBm and >-100 dBm Residual Output with RF Switch Off: More than 60 dB below the selected level (for levels >-40 dBm) Coherent Carrier Output Specifications Spectral Purity Specifications Residual SSB Phase Noise in a 1 Hz BW: Offset CW (typical) (typical) (typical) from Specified 10 MHz 10 MHz 10 MHz Carrier at 1 GHz to 3 GHz to 3 GHz to 3 GHz Note: Digital, vector, and scalar residual phase noise is the same as CW. ¹Typical phase noise for 10 MHz offsets is only applicable between 50 MHz and 3 GHz.
