Description
The Anapico APSIN26G Portable Low Phase Noise Signal Generator is a fast-switching Microwave Signal Generator covering the frequency range from 100 kHz up to 26 GHz. With option 9k the unit will work from 9kHz instead of 100kHz. In CW mode it is capable of reaching 30GHz. Advanced technology allows a 0.001 Hz frequency resolution, excellent phase noise and a high power output. The Anapico APSIN26G 26GHz Signal Generator operates with an ultra-stable temperature compensated 100 MHz reference (OCXO) and can be phase-locked to any external reference from 1 to 250 MHz. In addition, the Anapico APSIN26G Signal Generator is capable of AM, FM, Pulse and Phase Modulation. For those customers who require a CW Signal Generator, option NM can be purchased to remove the modulation.
For those engineers who prefer a color touch screen this can be purchased as an additional option.
It is an excellent, reliable and cost effective alternative to traditional Signal Generators where space and cost are of concern. Additionally, the Anapico APSIN26G is also an excellent Signal Generator for field applications, with a weight of only 6lbs and optional internal rechargeable battery module. The unit comes standard with a USB 2.0 Communication Interface and LAN but can be supplied with GPIB as an optional extra. Additional information including the datasheet and manual can be found under the documents tab.

If you need more help or advice please don’t hesitate to contact us.
2. Q: We need a custom solution. Can you help?
A: Yes we can offer custom solutions but minimum order quantities maybe required. Please contact us to discuss your requirement.
3. Q: How long does the battery need to charge for?
A: Typically 4 to 6 hours.
4. Q: How long does the battery last for?
A: If used on full RF output the battery will typically last for 3 hours.
5. Q:Do I have to use the unit with a battery?
A: No. The Signal Generator can also be used as a benchtop unit. It’s small size makes it ideal in labs where space is limited.
6. Q: Do Anapico make any 3GHz Signal Generators?
A: They make signal generators that would cover that frequency range. The APSINXXXHC series offers units to 2GHz,4GHz and 6GHz. Please contact us for more information
