RF signal generator, analyzer
cut costs with SDR architecture
Some of the most expensive instrumentation on the market today is designed for RF testing. The 2910 Vector Signal Generator (Electronic Products , March 2006, p. 115 ), along with its sibling, the 2810 Vector Signal Analyzer, reverse that trend by providing sophisticated RF performance for around $15,000, making it possible to outfit both the design bench and the production floor with quality test gear for less than ever before.

Key to that ability for both instruments is the use of a common digital Software-defined Radio (SDR) architecture, which allowed the instrument designers to leverage mass-produced digital components whose performance was augmented using their in-depth knowledge of precision design. This permitted delivery not only of lower prices but superior tuning and switching speeds.
