Signal Generator Extenders up to 500 GHz for Millimeter-Wave Testing
Signal Generator Extenders extend standard signal generator capabilities into the millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz spectrum, reaching frequencies up to 500 GHz. These extender modules provide frequency coverage from WR22 down to WR2.8 waveguide bands, enabling researchers, system engineers, and test professionals to access critical frequency ranges previously requiring specialized equipment.
The extenders represent a practical solution for laboratories and development facilities requiring broadband signal generation across multiple frequency bands without the expense of acquiring entirely new instrumentation.
