SSG5000A Series
A high-precision microwave signal generator reaching 13.6 or 20 GHz, with a standard OCXO reference for excellent frequency accuracy and stability. AM/FM/PM, pulse modulation, a pulse-sequence generator and power-meter control make it a complete microwave stimulus for radar, EW and aerospace work.
Microwave Signal Generator
A high-precision microwave signal generator reaching 13.6 or 20 GHz, with a standard OCXO reference for excellent frequency accuracy and stability. AM/FM/PM, pulse modulation, a pulse-sequence generator and power-meter control make it a complete microwave stimulus for radar, EW and aerospace work.
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
Microwave to 20 GHz
13.6 GHz (SSG5083A) or 20 GHz (SSG5085A) of clean microwave coverage.
OCXO accuracy
A standard OCXO reference delivers high frequency precision and stability out of the box.
Full modulation
AM, FM, PM, pulse modulation and a pulse-sequence generator for radar-style stimulus.
Power-meter control
Drive a Siglent power sensor directly for level calibration and characterisation.
Models in the series

Features in depth
Microwave reach, precise control
The SSG5000A brings microwave coverage to a mid-range budget without giving up accuracy — a standard OCXO keeps frequency tight and stable across 13.6 or 20 GHz.
- 9 kHz to 13.6 GHz (SSG5083A) or 20 GHz (SSG5085A)
- Standard OCXO reference for high frequency precision
- −130 dBm to +25 dBm output level range
- −120 dBc/Hz phase noise for clean carriers
Built for radar & system test
Pulse and pulse-sequence generation plus power-meter control make it a complete stimulus for radar, EW and aerospace component characterisation.
- AM, FM and PM analog modulation
- Pulse modulation and a pulse-sequence generator
- Direct power-meter (sensor) control for level calibration
- LAN/USB/GPIB & SCPI for automated test systems
