UTS3000-TG Tracking Generator Option
Overview
The UTS3000-TG adds a tracking generator — swept source synchronized with the analyzer for measuring insertion loss, return loss, and frequency response of filters, amplifiers, cables, and components.
Key Features
- Synchronized Sweep — Output tracks analyzer center frequency for stimulus-response measurements.
- Component Characterization — Measure insertion loss, passband flatness, and rejection directly.
- Cable Testing — Cable loss, antenna return loss, connector insertion loss across frequency.
- Normalization — Reference sweep calibration removes system losses.
- Software License Activation — License key via instrument menu. No hardware changes.
