AnaPico’s New APLC and APHSP Analog Signal Generators
Introducing AnaPico's latest signal generators, the APLC and APHSP series. The APLC series offers phase-coherent, ultra-fast switching, and ultra-low phase noise up to 54 GHz, perfect for applications requiring superior signal quality and stable phase coherence. It features 15 µs switching speeds, high-stability OCXO reference, and flexible external options. Available in desktop or 19-inch rack-mountable forms, it supports PC-based GUI control and interfaces like USB, LAN, or GPIB.
The APHSP series ranges from 1 kHz to 51 GHz, with 5 µs switching speeds and ultra-low phase noise. It shares APLC’s strengths, including spurious and harmonic rejection and flexible references. The APHSP is also available in desktop and rack-mountable forms, with intuitive GUI control and multiple communication interfaces. Both series deliver robust performance and versatility for a wide range of demanding applications.
