AnaPico AG is Swiss producer of unique truly handheld, low noise and fast-switching RF signal generators. Company developed two models working in the frequency range from 9 kHz to 3,3GHz (APSIN3000) and from 9 kHz to 6,4GHz (APSIN6000).

APSINx000 is specially designed for applications where excellent signal quality is required. The fan-less design consumes only 10 watts and guarantees low emissions. Standard configuration includes high-stability, thermal compensated OCXO reference source, and much more, guaranteeing an excellent price to performance ratio. There is possible to synchronize the unit with external phase locked disciplining source also.

The big advantages of these units are small dimensions, low weight and optional internal battery allowing for 3 hours of continuously work, what suit them ideally for work in the field.

APSINx000 generators can work autonomous, or be remotely controlled through the Ethernet port, while remote control is possible in many different ways: with graphical GUI, SCPI Commands, through the Telnet or WEB Browser. In the case of implementing generator in measurement environment there are available DLL libraries and NI-VISA drivers.
