Description
The MTG is a multi-tone signal generator where
up to 16 CW signals are output simultaneously.
These signals are internally combined so that
the intermodulation products are controlled to
be at very low levels. This output signal is primarily
used to test the intermodulation performance
of high power amplifiers (HPA).
Each tone is generated by a synthesizer that
has 10 Hz frequency resolution and can be set
to any frequency within the frequency range of
that module. Any given MTG unit can be outfitted
with up to 16 synthesizers. The typical
configuration is either 8 or 16 tones. Both
frequency range modules, Cellular and PCS,
can be installed in a single MTG. The MTG
represents a cost effective way to simulate the
conditions presented by a base station to the
output HPA.
