Chapter 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
PeakTech®1135 is a micro-processor controlled, high frequency (10MHz~3GHz) signal
generator.
In regard of the features of PeakTech®1135, it is available to modulate external input digital
signal (I/Q) and it has the function of up-conversion.
And you can recall the memory which is stored for your convenience.
All of the control can be done at the front panel with keys and rotary knob.
The output frequency can be stepped.
1.1.1 Carrier Frequency
The operating frequency range of PeakTech®1135 is from 10MHz to 3GHz and the resolution
is 1Hz with PLL system. The LCD displays the frequency. The desired carrier frequency can
be controlled directly by key pad or rotary knob.
1.1.2 Output Level
Level can be varied from -120dBm to 0dBm in 0.1dB step.
And the flatness is under ±1.2dB.
dBm, dBuV, EMF, mV and uV can be used as its unit and also it is possible to convert each
other.
1.1.3 Digital Modulation
It is available to modulate the digital signal which is external input.
1.1.4 UP-Converter Function
The function of up-converter which mix the input IF signal with local oscillated signal so that
you can get the signal you want.
1.1.5 Memory Function (Save/Recall)
Memory registers allow you to save instruments set-ups and recall them whenever you want.
The number of the currently selected Sequence and the last Register selected are always in the
lower left corner of the display to help you keep track of where you are in your testing process.
