This unit
The Astronics/EADS/Racal 3152A is a VXIbus single-slot C-size synthesized waveform generator combining function generation and arbitrary waveform synthesis. It delivers precision frequency control and low phase noise through an integrated phase-locked loop, making it ideal for demanding test, calibration, and signal simulation across military and commercial applications. The 3152A improves upon its predecessor with high-speed commands, binary download modes, and an accelerated internal CPU for faster test sequence execution.
