SSG3000X Series
An affordable, accurate analog RF source from 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz — clean output, AM/FM/PM and pulse modulation, a built-in pulse-train generator and an optional external-IQ path for vector signals. The everyday generator for the bench, the classroom and the production line.
Analog RF Signal Generator
An affordable, accurate analog RF source from 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz — clean output, AM/FM/PM and pulse modulation, a built-in pulse-train generator and an optional external-IQ path for vector signals. The everyday generator for the bench, the classroom and the production line.
Every model shares the same platform, user interface and remote-control command set, so you choose purely on frequency and capability — and scale the analysis with licenses and accessories as your work grows. siglent.eu is the official EU distributor, with stock, warranty and local support.
Key highlights
Clean analog source
Low phase noise and spectral purity for stimulus, LO and clock-source duty across the bench.
Full analog modulation
AM, FM and PM plus pulse modulation (on/off ≥70 dBc) and a built-in pulse-train generator.
Up to 3.2 GHz
The SSG3032X models cover the full range; 2.1 GHz units already in the field upgrade to 3.2 GHz by license.
External-IQ (-IQE)
-IQE models add an external I/Q path — pair with an SDG6000X to generate vector / digitally-modulated signals.
Models in the series
The 3.2 GHz models are available; the two 2.1 GHz models are end of life and have a direct successor in the SSG3000X Plus series.
Siglent has discontinued both 2.1 GHz models; they can no longer be ordered. Their successors, the SSG3021X Plus and SSG3021X-IQE Plus, cover the same 9 kHz to 2.1 GHz at the same list prices, with lower phase noise (−117 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz) and an optional OCXO reference. The SSG3032X and SSG3032X-IQE remain available, and options, service and calibration continue for every SSG3000X already in use.
Core capabilities
Continuous coverage with fine frequency resolution.
Wide, accurate output level range with a step attenuator.
Standard analog modulation, internal or external.
Pulse modulation (≥70 dBc) plus a built-in pulse-train generator.
-IQE models accept I/Q from an SDG6000X for digital modulation.
Clear display, LAN/USB/GPIB and full SCPI for ATE.
Features in depth
Clean, stable analog output
The SSG3000X is built around a low-noise synthesizer, so it delivers a clean carrier for receiver, component and education work without the price of a microwave instrument.
- −110 dBc/Hz phase noise @ 1 GHz, 20 kHz offset (typ.)
- Level from −110 dBm to +13 dBm with a built-in attenuator
- Fine frequency resolution across the whole range
- Stable enough to serve as an LO or clock reference
Modulation & vector-ready
Beyond a plain carrier, it covers the everyday modulation jobs — and the -IQE models open the door to vector signals when you need them.
- AM, FM & PM analog modulation, internal or external
- Pulse modulation with ≥70 dBc on/off ratio
- Built-in pulse-train generator for radar-style bursts
- -IQE: external I/Q input — drive it from an SDG6000X for digital/vector modulation

Frequently asked questions
No. Both 2.1 GHz models are end of life. Their direct successors are the SSG3021X Plus and SSG3021X-IQE Plus in the SSG3000X Plus series: same frequency range, output level and list price, with lower phase noise and an optional OCXO reference. The SSG3032X and SSG3032X-IQE remain available.
9 kHz to 3.2 GHz on the SSG3032X and SSG3032X-IQE. The discontinued SSG3021X models cover 9 kHz to 2.1 GHz and can be upgraded to 3.2 GHz with a software license.
Yes. Software licenses, the rack mount kit and the USB-GPIB adapter remain in the shop, and repair and calibration continue as before. Licenses for the SSG3000X Plus are separate order codes and do not fit the SSG3000X.
The -IQE models have an external I/Q input — drive it from an SDG6000X baseband generator to produce vector and digitally-modulated signals. Standard models cover AM/FM/PM and pulse.
AM, FM and PM analog modulation (internal or external), pulse modulation with ≥70 dBc on/off ratio, and a built-in pulse-train generator.
−110 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz with 20 kHz offset (typical) — clean enough for receiver test, LO and clock-source use.
Yes — LAN and USB are standard and GPIB is available through the USB-GPIB adapter, all with SCPI command support.
