This unit
The JDS Uniphase SG is a signal generation module engineered for integration into larger test and measurement systems. It delivers stable, accurate signal sourcing across telecommunications and research applications. The compact modular design supports remote control via standard interfaces while maintaining reliable performance in demanding measurement environments.
Technical Specifications The SG series encompasses signal generation and optical matrix switching architectures. Standard signal generator configurations operate across a frequency range of 10 to 3000 MHz with output levels from −20 to +12 dBm and frequency setting resolution of 1 Hz. Frequency stability and aging characteristics are specified, with phase noise performance defined at multiple offset frequencies. Optical matrix switch variants feature expanded beam technology with precision stepper-motor alignment. Wavelength operation spans 1270 to 1670 nm for 3U height configurations supporting up to 8×8 optical channels, with extended architectures capable of 64 total inputs and outputs. These switches are characterized by low insertion loss across the operational bandwidth.

JDS Uniphase SG — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDS Uniphase SG. 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 JDS Uniphase SG 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.
