Introduction
The 3002 is a C size, message-based VXI signal generator covering the frequency range 9 kHz to
2.4 GHz. The RF output can be modulated in amplitude, frequency or phase using internal or
external signal sources. Additionally pulse modulation may be applied externally. An internal AF
source is capable of generating simultaneous two-tone modulation. The 3002 is 2 slots wide and
conforms to revisions 1.3 and 1.4 of the VXI specification.
Main features
Frequency selection
Carrier frequency resolution is 1 Hz across the band. A series of carrier frequencies can be stored
in non-volatile memory for recall when required.
Output
RF output up to +25 dBm (uncalibrated above 1.2 GHz) can be set with a resolution of 0.1 dB over
the entire range. Carrier output can be completely disabled.
An electronic trip protects the generator output against reverse power of up to 50 W. This prevents
damage to output circuits when RF or DC power is accidentally applied to the RF OUT connector.
To facilitate testing of receiver squelch systems, an attenuator hold function allows control of the
RF output without introducing RF level drop-outs from the step attenuator.
The RF output level can be offset by up to ± 5.0 dB to compensate for cable or switching losses, or
to standardize a group of instruments.
The maximum RF output level can be set so as to protect sensitive devices connected to the RF
OUTPUT socket.
Spectral purity
With an SSB phase noise performance of typically -121 dBc/Hz at 20 kHz offset from a 1 GHz
carrier, this instrument can be used for both in-channel and adjacent channel receiver
measurements. Harmonically related signals and non-harmonics are better than -25 dBc and
-60 dBc respectively.
Modulation
Comprehensive amplitude, frequency and phase modulations are available. Pulse modulation can
be applied to the carrier from an external pulse source. The instrument also accepts one or two
logic level inputs to produce a 2-level or 4-level FSK modulated output. An internal modulation
oscillator is provided, having a frequency range of 0.01 Hz to 20 kHz. The oscillator is capable of
generating one or two modulation tones simultaneously in one modulation channel. An
independent BNC input on the front panel allows external modulation signals to be combined with
GENERAL INFORMATION
1-2
the internal signal(s). These sources can be combined to give a number of modulation modes. The
pulse modulation can be used in combination with the other forms of modulation.
The frequency modulation range provides a 1 dB bandwidth of typically 100 kHz and provides FM
deviation up to a maximum of 100 kHz. AC or DC coupled FM can be selected. Phase
modulation is also available with a 10 kHz bandwidth up to a maximum of 10 radians.
Amplitude modulation with a 1 dB bandwidth of typically 30 kHz and with modulation depths of
up to 99.9% is available with a resolution of 0.1%. Pulse modulation is available as standard with
typical rise and fall times of less than 10 µs and 40 dB on/off ratio.
The external input voltage required for 100% modulation is 1 V RMS (1.414 V peak). To
accommodate other signal levels, Automatic Level Control (ALC) can be selected which provides
correctly calibrated modulation for inputs between 0.75 and 1.25 V RMS. HI and LO indications
are reported when the input level is outside the range of the ALC system.
Incrementing
All major parameters can be incremented or decremented in steps. If no step size is programmed
for a parameter, the steps are preset to 1 kHz for carrier frequency, 1 kHz for modulation oscillator,
1 kHz for FM deviation, 1% for AM depth, 0.1 rad for
ΦM and 1 dB for output level.
Frequency sweep
The sweep capability of the instrument allows comprehensive testing of systems. Sweeps may be
logarithmic or linear. Four parameters are used to specify sweep: start, stop, step size and time per
step, all of which can be programmed by the user. Sweep triggering can be programmed as single
shot or continuous and can be initiated directly or on the detection of a trigger. The triggering
signal may be from a back plane trigger, programmed or from a TTL/CMOS signal applied to the
front panel TRIGGER INPUT.
Memory
The instrument provides both non-volatile and volatile memory for storing instrument settings.
The non-volatile memory provides 100 instrument settings and 100 settings of carrier frequency
only. The volatile memory (RAM) also provides 100 instrument settings. Any one of the nonvolatile instrument settings can be selected as the power-up setting for the instrument.
Memory sequencing
A software facility allows sequences of stored instrument settings to be defined. The incrementing
facilities can then be used to cycle through the settings using the VXI trigger facilities.
Memory protection
To prevent accidental change of the contents of the stored settings, individual memories or ranges
of memories can be write-protected.
Triggers
Triggering the 3002 Signal Generator may be via the VXI TTL triggers (0 - 7), the trigger
command, *TRG message or front panel input.
Calibration data
All alignment data is digitally derived. Realignment can be undertaken, without removing covers,
by protected functions via the VXI interface.

WARNING
!
Initial visual inspection
After unpacking the equipment, inspect the shipping container and its cushioning material for signs
of stress or damage. If damage is identified, retain the packing material for examination by the
carrier in the event that a claim is made. Examine the equipment for signs of damage; do not
connect the equipment to a supply when damage is present, internal electrical damage could result
in shock if the equipment is turned on.
Setting logical address
Before installing the signal generator in the VXI mainframe, verify that the logical address is
between 1 and 254 and does not clash with the logical address of any other device in the rack. The
logical address is set on a bank of 8 DIL switches. These are located on the right-hand side of the
instrument. Use some form of stylus (e.g. a ball-point pen) to move the switches to form the binary
address. Logical addresses may be set in the range 1 to 254. Logical address 0 is reserved for slot
0 devices and logical address 255 is reserved for dynamically configured devices. The 3002 VXI
Signal Generator does not support dynamic configuration.
Ventilation requirements
Ensure that the VXI signal generator module is supplied with adequate cooling i.e. 2.4 liter/s at
1 mm H
2
O backpressure minimum per slot.
INSTALLATION AND POWER-UP
2-2
Installing in VXI mainframe
This instrument will take up two slots of a C-sized VXI mainframe. Before installation ensure that
the mainframe power is off. To install the instrument first set the logical address (see ‘Setting
logical address’ above), if required, then slide the module into the mainframe ensuring that the top
and bottom card guides are in the slots. Ensure that the rear connectors are seated properly and
screw in the front panel retaining screws. The instrument is now ready to power up.
Routine safety testing and inspection
1. Visual inspection
In the UK the 'Electricity at Work Regulations' (1989) section 4(2) places a requirement on the
users of equipment to maintain it in a safe condition. The explanatory notes call for regular
inspections and tests together with a need to keep records.
This module is not designed to be connected to a supply or signals which present hazardous levels,
and no hazardous voltages are generated internally. All such levels must be maintained within
'Separated Extra-Low Voltage' (SELV or SELV-E) limits for continued safety. No requirement
therefore exists to carry out insulation tests on the module. Periodic electrical tests and visual
inspections should however be performed on the complete mainframe/chassis by competent
personnel. Information should be sought from the mainframe supplier regarding the visual
inspection, earth bonding and insulation resistance test requirements.
Visually check that the module has been installed in accordance with the instructions provided (e.g.
that the ventilation is adequate, all fixing screws are present and tightened, and that all warning
labels, markings and supplied safety information are present and legible). If any defect is noted
this should be rectified before proceeding with further electrical tests.
No attempt should be made to perform high current earth bonding tests on the functional earths
(e.g. signal carrying connector shells or screen connections) present on the module connectors.
High current earth bonding tests are also not recommended between the mainframe protective earth
connector and the module front panel. Serious damage may result to both the module and the
mainframe if the module is not fully screwed into the mainframe during high current testing. Low
current earth bonding tests (1 mA to 100 mA) should be performed to establish earth path
continuity between the module front panel and the mainframe protective earth.
2. Rectification
It is recommended that the results of the above tests are recorded and checked during each repeat
test. Significant differences between the previous readings and measured values should be
investigated.
If any failure is detected during the above visual inspection or tests, the equipment should be
disabled and the fault should be rectified by an experienced Service Engineer who is familiar with
the hazards involved in carrying out such repairs.
Safety critical components should only be replaced with equivalent parts, using techniques and
procedures recommended by Aeroflex.
The above information is provided for guidance only. Aeroflex designs and constructs its products
in accordance with International Safety Standards such that in normal use they represent no hazard
to the operator. Aeroflex reserves the right to amend the above information in the course of its
continuing commitment to product safety.
Never insert or remove the instrument when the mainframe is already powered up.
