Key Features

Exceptional Spectral Purity for Confident Advanced Testing

The Ceyear 1466-V series signal generator supports high-purity spectral signal output. The typical single sideband (SSB) phase noise is -145dBc/Hz @1GHz carrier with 10kHz offset, and -132dBc/Hz @10GHz carrier with 10kHz offset. The typical wideband noise floor at 20GHz is -161dBc/Hz @30MHz offset. Spurious signals are typically less than -80dBc and harmonics are below -55dBc at a 10GHz carrier.

With such clean signal output, 1466-V series ensures that microwave and millimeter-wave component, system, and OTA testing are free from interference, giving you greater confidence in your measurements.


Wide Dynamic Range and High-Accuracy Power Output

The Ceyear 1466-V series signal generator delivers excellent output power performance, with typical maximum power of:

  • +27 dBm at 5 GHz
  • +24 dBm at 20 GHz
  • +25 dBm at 30 GHz
  • +22 dBm at 60 GHz

The minimum output power can be set as low as -150dBm, providing a dynamic range of over 170dB. The instrument also features outstanding power accuracy, with a typical uncertainty of less than ±0.5dB (below 20GHz).


2GHz RF Modulation Bandwidth, Effortlessly Meeting Broadband Test Challenges

The Ceyear 1466-V series signal generator offers a maximum RF modulation bandwidth of 2GHz. Depending on the application scenario, it supports flexible configuration with optional bandwidths of 500MHz, 1GHz, or 2GHz. When using external wideband baseband signal input, the RF modulation bandwidth can reach up to 5GHz.

Whether for today’s 5G communications or the upcoming 6G applications, the outstanding modulation bandwidth performance ensures that even the most demanding tests can be carried out with confidence and efficiency.


Excellent Vector Modulation Accuracy, Ideal for Communication Equipment Calibration and Testing

The Ceyear 1466-V series signal generator delivers outstanding vector modulation accuracy, with a measured QPSK modulation EVM of 0.4% (at 2GHz carrier). It also features excellent adjacent channel power rejection, with 5G NR ACPR < -55dBc @ 2GHz carrier (typical) and < -45dBc @ 42.5GHz carrier (typical).
