AnaPico launches the APLC and APHSP series of high-performance analog signal generators.

“Over the past two decades, AnaPico has continually advanced key performance metrics of analog signal sources. We are delighted to introduce this latest series of instruments, completing our portfolio of analog signal sources,” commented Dr. Jakub Kucera , CEO of AnaPico AG.”

AnaPico AG is proud to announce the debut of the APLC and APHSP series of high-performance analog signal generators. Together with the previously introduced APSIN and APULN series, AnaPico now offers a wide range of signal generators tailored to meet various performance needs, allowing engineers to choose the optimal instrument with the best performance-price ratio.

The APLC and APHSP series cover frequency ranges up to 54 GHz and 51 GHz, respectively, with output power greater than 15 dBm at the high frequency end. Both series support all analog modulation schemes. When compared to similar offerings on the market, the APLC and APHSP stand out with the following unique performance characteristics:

  • Lower phase noise: With phase noise levels reaching -97 dBc/Hz (APLC and APHSP) at 100 Hz, and -130 dBc/Hz (APLC) and -139 dBc/Hz (APHSP) at 20 kHz from 10 GHz, both instruments have the lowest phase noise among competitors on the market.
  • Faster Frequency Switching: Like our other signal sources, the APLC and APHSP achieve switching times greater than 15 μs and 5 μs, respectively, allowing for fast frequency sweeping.
  • High signal purity: Harmonics, subharmonics and spurious signals are minimized, reaching levels as low as -60 dBc and -70 dBc, respectively.
  • Multi-channel models with strong phase coherence: A single 19″ 2-HU module can accommodate up to 4 independent channels, with multiple modules synchronizable in a phase-coherent manner.

These high-performance signal generators are poised to unlock numerous applications, including wireless communications (MIMO and beamforming), radar and electronic warfare (phased array radars and electronic countermeasures), quantum computing research, and various industrial, medical and metrological test and measurement (T&M) requirements.
