The pure and precise MXG

The MXG is the pure and precise alternative to the analog PSG, with advantages in size and speed. It delivers the performance you need--spectral purity, output power, switching speed and more--to perform module- and system-level testing.

Generate the signals you need with outstanding hardware performance

• Test radar receiver sensitivity with best-in-class phase noise and spurious performance
• Shrink your test stand with two rack-unit height
• Maximize throughput with fast switching speed
• Compensate for system loss, stimulate remote DUTs, and drive high-power amplifiers while retaining signal integrity
• Simulate multi-channel composite analog modulation with integrated multifunction generation
• Create variable RADAR PRI and pulse width with integrated pulse train generator

Maximize resources with low cost of ownership

• Increase uptime with high mean time between failures (MTBF)
• Minimize downtime and expenses with self-maintenance strategy and low-cost repairs
• Standard 3-year calibration cycle and warranty
