UTS3000-TG Tracking Generator Option

The Importance of a Tracking Generator A tracking generator is an indispensable tool for engineers performing frequency response analysis on components like filters, amplifiers, and attenuators. By providing a signal source that synchronizes with the spectrum analyzer’s frequency sweep, it allows real-time measurement of how a device reacts across its operating range. This capability is essential in verifying the frequency-dependent behavior of components, ensuring performance consistency, and optimizing system designs. Tracking generators are especially valuable in RF and microwave engineering, where precision is critical to maintain signal integrity and efficiency. For example, a communications engineer developing a bandpass filter for a 100 MHz radio system can use the UNI-T UTS3021B or UNI-T UTS3036B spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator starting at 10 MHz. The synchronized generator provides a signal sweep across the filter’s range, while the spectrum analyzer captures the o
