A NEW X-BAND SIGNAL GENERATOR dubbed the LMS-123 operates from 8 to 12 GHz while switching in 100 ms. It provides 100-Hz frequency resolution. The LMS series also offers phasecontinuous linear frequency sweeping, optional modulation formats, and internal/external triggering. Like other products in the Lab Brick signal-generator line, the LMS-123 measures 4.90 x 3.14 x 1.59 in. (124 x 80 x 40 mm) and weighs less than 1 lb. (0.45 kg). It connects to a host computer by means of a standard Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable and is controlled via the graphical user interface (GUI) software supplied with each unit. The easy-to-use GUI features large display windows to quickly view and adjust the signal generator's operating parameters. Standard Lab Brick units deliver +10 dBm output power across their full operating-frequency ranges. Optional output power levels of +13 dBm and +20 dBm are available on most models. The RoHS-compliant signal generators are supplied in rugged cast aluminum housings complete with mounting holes.
