Description  

 SGMW-x series
 
The SGMW-x series is fully packaged sweeper source.  The sweeper consists of external module with BWO-X series and power supply.  There are all the electronic circuitry and power supplies required to provide the operation of BWO. The sweeper self-tests at turn-on. BWO tube is fully protected against improper voltage connections.  There are two inputs for external frequency and power control. Phase locking possibility is provided. Minimal built-in full band sweep time is 10 ms. One power supply can be used with different BWO. Particularly, the remote module with BWO tube allows using it at hard-to-reach places and can be installed quite away, somewhere near a scientist’s work desk. Another great advantage of this series of BWO sweepers is its power supply unit, that allows feed up to few BWO tubes even with different working frequencies.  Download operation manual for SGMW-x here

How to Order:

Specify Model Number SGMW-X-A, where

X – Type of BWO tubes (E- Power supply with BWO-E, VV – power supply with BWO-W and BWO-E),

A – Length of cable in meters.

Example: BWO sweeper meets the following specification: operation frequency 50-75 and 60-90 GHz 1.5m connection cable, should be ordered as SGMW -VE-1.5
