SIGLENT has launched the SSG3000X Plus Series, a line of radio frequency signal generators designed for wireless connectivity and IoT production testing. These instruments are now available for technical and educational applications.
Why it matters
The series expands available test equipment for IoT and wireless development by offering precision signal generation in an entry-level package. It addresses the need for compact, remotely accessible testing tools in research and production environments.
The generators provide frequency ranges from 9kHz to 3.2GHz with a 0.01Hz setting resolution and typical phase noise of -117dBc/Hz at a 1GHz carrier. Output levels reach a maximum of +20dBm with a typical accuracy of 0.7dB or less.
The players
SIGLENT
A manufacturer of test and measurement equipment including oscilloscopes, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers for the global electronics market.
The details
The SSG3000X Plus units generate RF signals through internal modulation schemes including AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation, the latter achieving an on-off ratio of 68dBc or greater. Pulse modulation involves rapidly switching the signal amplitude to create bursts, while the IQE models utilize external IQ modulation—a method of encoding data by varying the in-phase and quadrature components of a carrier wave—to support complex signal testing. Users can integrate USB power sensors to calibrate output levels directly at the device under test.

The Tech Race
The launch places SIGLENT within the competitive landscape of affordable test instrumentation for wireless prototyping. It offers an alternative to established benchtop generators by prioritizing high-resolution frequency output alongside modern remote-control interfaces.
Engineers can manage these instruments through standard USB and LAN interfaces or via browser-based remote access from mobile devices. The hardware is designed for immediate use in wireless connectivity and production testing environments.
The takeaway
The SSG3000X Plus Series simplifies RF signal simulation for compact lab setups. Developers should watch for future technical documentation regarding the IQE model's integration with specific software-defined radio stacks.
