Page 5: General Overview Of Instrument Capabilities
3. General Overview of Instrument Capabilities The HMC-T2100 is a single channel frequency synthesizer. The block diagram for this unit is shown in fi gure 1. This unit provides one RF output channel with programmable output frequency and output power. -
Page 6: Operation And Setup
Before the SG unit can be operated, external coaxial cables, equipment and instrumentation are required to be set-up. The instruction steps listed below must fi rst be completed: Use appropriate ESD precautions when connecting cabling, and external equipment to the HMC-T2100 Signal Generator. - Page 7 When in the Standby State, the output power attenuators are set for maximum attenuation. The RF output specifi cations are located in the data sheet on the Hittite website. Please note that while the SG unit is in the Stand-by state, there is still a minimal level of RF power at the signal generator RF output.
- Page 8 5.2.3.1 Front Panel Power Level Status The HMC-T2100 includes a power level indicator on the Front Panel display which can be monitored by the user to determine if the output power specifi ed by the user is within the instruments calibrated output range (See the data sheet).
- Page 9 5.2.5 External Reference/Internal Reference 5.2.5.1 Internal Reference Out The HMC-T2100 includes a single precision 10 MHz reference. The internal 10 MHz reference connects to one of the BNC connectors on the rear panel. The performance of this reference output is specifi ed in the datasheet on the Hittite website.
