This unit
The Rohde & Schwarz CCVS + Component Generator SAF is a multi-standard video signal generator engineered for broadcast television, component testing, and R&D verification. It generates CCVS, YCBCR, RGB, and S-VHS signals across B/G PAL, M/NTSC, M/PAL, and N/PAL standards with selectable 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios. The instrument delivers real-time signal generation using a high-speed RISC Transputer processor and LSI gate arrays, producing 10-bit resolution shallow ramps and comprehensive test patterns.

Rohde & Schwarz CCVS + Component Generator SAF — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Rohde & Schwarz CCVS + Component Generator SAF. Calibration covers output frequency accuracy, output power level accuracy across the full frequency range, AM/FM/PM/pulse modulation accuracy, harmonic and spurious output levels, and phase noise floor verification. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Rohde & Schwarz CCVS + Component Generator SAF faults: YIG oscillator failure (no output or loss of lock), step attenuator wear (output drops or steps at set attenuation), ALC loop failure (uncontrolled output power), I/Q modulator assembly failure. HP/Agilent 836xx series most common faults are YIG oscillator failure and step attenuator contact wear causing output steps or drops at specific attenuation settings. Keysight E4428C/E4438C units most commonly develop ALC loop failure and I/Q modulator assembly faults. YIG oscillator replacement and attenuator service are stocked repairs.
