MULTIPLE FREQUENCY SIGNAL GENERATORS

MODEL SX-16C

The Model SX-16C is an improved version of the SX-16 manually controlled generator that provides clean, modulated and unmodulated, crystal-controlled, amplitude-variable outputs, up to +57 dBmV per channel. This improved model uses enhanced technology to provide 15 dB of amplitude control.

MODEL ASX-16C/P

The Model ASX-16C/P is an improved version of the Model ASX-16B, ASX-16C that provides 15 dB of amplitude control with a constant 0.025 dB/step increment.

MODEL ASX-16C/D

The Model ASX-16C/D is the latest design version of the Model ASX-16C with added features. The use of enhanced technology allows greater frequency trim (+/- 25 KHz) while maintaining the excellent noise and distortion performance of the ASX-16C.

MODEL PSX-6C

The Model PSX-6C is an improved version of the PSX-6 portable, weatherproof Generator of clean, unmodulated (modulated optional), crystal- controlled, amplitude-variable outputs, up to +60 dBmV per channel. This improved model uses enhanced technology to provide 15 dB of amplitude control.

SWITCHABLE FILTER BANKS

MODEL AFS12WB

Models AFS-12WB contain banks of Matrix Model FLT-1 filters. Each filter may be individually selected. The Model AFS-12WB retains the manual operation in addition to remote control through the (GPIB) IEEE-488 interface.

Model FLT-1

MATRIX Model FLT-1 Filters. Band Pass, Low Pass, High Pass, Noise Block Band Pass and Notch Filters.

Model PA-20-20

MATRIX Model PA-20-20 post amplifier

HUM DETECTORS

HD-500 Hum Detector (Demodulator) Measures low frequency modulation to -100 dBc on RF carriers over the range of 5 to 1500 MHz.

DISTORTION TEST SETS

The DTS Distortion Test Sets combine Matrix products with those of other manufacturers. When properly equipped, Model DTS can measure virtually any parameter important to the CATV industry. Controlled completely through the (GPIB) IEEE-488 bus interface, a Model DTS allows rapid, repetitive, and objective readings in a production-type environment.

MODEL DTS-B

The Model DTS-B is no longer manufactured, but existing systems are supported. This model DTS has been replaced by the Model DTS-C.

MODEL DTS-C

The Model DTS-C incorporates advanced digital processing equipment and a special Model ASX-16C/D Multiple Frequency Generator. This combination permits enhanced distortion measurements. Cross-modulation, Discrete Second Order and Discrete Third Order measurements can be made down to -120 dB. Composite Second Order Beat measurements can be made down to -100 dB.

MATRIX MODEL ATI-100

This combination of hardware and software easily converts your ASX generator and filter selector into a fully automated Distortion Test System.

MATRIX MEAN SQUARE MODULE SQ1

This module generates the mean of the square of an input signal for measuring distortions below -100 dB with the use of a Fast Fourier Analysis method. See Matrix technical note MTN107 and Matrix technical note MTN110.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Miscellaneous

XFMR Impedance matching transformer -- 50 to 75 ohm from 7 - 1400 MHz..

CRS Low distortion RF coaxial SPDT, SP4T, and SP8T switches.

REMOTE CONTROL SOFTWARE

EQUIPMENT CONTROL SOFTWARE

Equipment control software to allow remote control of Matrix automated test equipment.

AUTOMATED DISTORTION CHARACTERIZATION and INFORMATION SYSTEM

Software that allows automatic measurement of distortion parameters to characterize a device. The software captures to a database, the test results, together with user entered profile information to describe the test setup. Various reports may be generated and printed. The data can also be output to a spreadsheet and macros are provided to automatically create a spreadsheet and analyze the results.
