Signal generator integrates high-speed data streaming functionality in a compact unit

The new IZT S1010 signal generator is the ideal solution for highly demanding applications that require extensive data streaming. At the same time, users benefit from the smaller dimensions, compared to the well-established S1000 signal generator equipped with an external memory extension, not to mention from the large integrated touch screen and enhanced usability. The high-speed data streaming functionality is integrated into the device by means of very fast SSDs which make it possible to stream a large number of VSGs in parallel. Using the powerful streaming feature allows multiple DAB ETI (Ensemble Transport Interface) or EDI signals to be modulated in real-time in order to test receivers, radios and chips. In addition, MRC tests are possible in this configuration. MRC is a method of combining the signals from multiple diversity branches. The device comprises all the related digital processing and is equipped with 4 x 1 TB SSD (optional) and a 250 GB SSD system disk. These disks are accessible from outside with robust HDD trays and are used to store and stream test vectors at high speed. As there are no moving parts for the SSD, the IZT S1010 is very robust and can be used in harsh environments and at high altitude. The device features a user-friendly GUI. The internal TFT has a built-in multi-touch controller which ensures enhanced usability. The device can be controlled from the internal TFT or using external displays. Remote operation is also possible. The device is housed in a 19" chassis with three rack units’ height. Adding RF hardware and software options allows the it to be configured to specific user needs.
