Inputs and Outputs

Front panel connectors

RF output

Outputs the RF signal via a precision N type female connector; see output section for

reverse power protection information

I and Q inputs

BNC input accepts “in-phase” and “quadrature” input signals for I/Q modulation;

nominal input impedance is 50 Ω, damage levels are 1 Vrms and 5 Vpeak

USB 2 .0

Used with a memory stick for transferring instrument states, licenses and other files

into or out of the instrument; also used with U2000 Series USB average power sensors

For a current list of supported memory sticks, visit www.agilent.com/find/X-series_SG,

click on Technical Support, and refer to FAQs: Waveform Downloads and Storage

Rear panel connectors

Rear panel inputs and outputs are 3 .3 V CMOS, unless indicated otherwise; CMOS inputs will accept 5 V CMOS, 3 V CMOS, or TTL

voltage levels
RF output (Option 1EM)

Outputs the RF signal via a precision N type female connector

I and Q inputs (Option 1EM)

Accepts “in-phase” and “quadrature” input signals for I/Q modulation SMB connector,

nominal input impedance is 50 Ω; damage levels are 1 Vrms and 5 Vpeak; Option 1EM

units will come with 2 SMB to BNC adapters

I and Q outputs

BNC outputs the analog I/Q modulation signals from the internal baseband generator;

nominal output impedance 50 Ω, DC coupled; damage levels ± 2 V

I bar and Q bar outputs (Option 1EL)

BNC outputs the complement of the I and Q signals for differential applications;

Event 1

This connector outputs the programmable timing signal generated by marker 1

The marker signal can also be routed internally to control the RF blanking and ALC hold

functions; this signal is also available on the AUX I/O connector

Damage levels are > +8 V and < –4 V

Pattern trigger

Accepts signal to trigger internal pattern generator to start single pattern output, for

use with the internal baseband generators

Accepts CMOS signal with minimum pulse width of 10 ns

Female BNC

Damage levels are > +8 V and < –4 V

BBTRIG 1

Reserved for arbitrary and real-time baseband generators I/O such as Markers or

trigger inputs

BBTRIG 2

Reserved for arbitrary and real-time baseband generators I/O such as Markers or

trigger inputs

Sweep out

Generates output voltage, 0 to +10 V when the signal generator is sweeping; this

output can also be programmed to indicate when the source is settled or output pulse

video and is TTL and CMOS compatible in this mode; output impedance < 1 Ω, can

drive 2 kΩ; damage levels are ± 15 V

Ext 1

External AM/FM/PM #1 input; nominal input impedance is 50 Ω/600 Ω/1M Ω,

nominal; damage levels are ± 5 V

Ext 2

External AM/FM/PM #2 input; nominal input impedance is 50 Ω/600 Ω /1M Ω,

nominal; damage levels are ± 5 V

LF OUT

0 to 5 V peak into 50 Ω, –5 V to 5 V offset, nominal

Pulse

External pulse modulation input; this input is TTL and CMOS compatible; low logic

levels are 0 V and high logic levels are +1 V; nominal input impedance is 50 Ω; input

damage levels are ≤ –0 .3 V and ≥ +5 .3 V
