PRODUCT SHOWCASE Signal Hound VSG25A Vector Signal Generator from Silvertone The VSG25A 100MHz to 2.5 GHz vector signal generator features a 12-bit I/Q baseband arbitrary waveform generator, which can be clocked at virtually any frequency from 54kHz to 180MHz and includes a 4096×16-bit pattern buffer for built-in or custom modulation. The included software automatically generates: • CW: 100MHz to 2.5GHz, -40dBm to +10dBm Unspecified operation down to 80MHz, or -70dBm to +13dBm • AM/FM: 30Hz to 40MHz modulation rates, sine, triangle, square, ramp • Pulse: 6ns to 25ms width, 12ns to 1 second period • Multi-tone: Up to 1023 tones with optional center notch * Use random phase + notch for noise power ratio testing * Use parabolic phase for best signal / noise • PSK: BPSK, DBPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, DQPSK, /4 DQPSK, 8-PSK, D8PSK, 16-PSK * 4k to 45M symbols per second * Optional raised cosine, root raised cosine filtering * Up to 512 symbols, streamed continuously in a loop * Binary symbol editor features 1-click insertion of PN7 /PN9 sequences • QAM: QAM-16, QAM-64, QAM-256 (same features as PSK) • ASK / FSK: 4k to 45M symbols per second * Optional Gaussian filtering “Navigational” switches for menu/ selection apps The NAVIMEC and panelsealed CONTROLMEC series provide manufacturers with the ability to design-in a beautiful interface with the performance of the MEC brand. NAVIMEC, a 5-switch/5-cap solution has many customisation choices including different colour options, illumination, standard and custom legends and actuation forces. It is available as a complete five-piece module or as single parts. CONTROLMEC offers an IP67 sealed 5-switch/1-cap solution with many of the same options as NAVIMEC, including illumination, laser etched legends/symbols and several colour options. Controlmec also includes a sealing ring, protecting it against dust and liquid ingress. Both the NAVIMEC and CONTROLMEC solutions can be delivered as loose components, component subassemblies, or integrated into a module with Molex connector for complete plug-and-play functionality.
