HAROGIC PGA-60 HANDHELD VECTOR SIGNAL GENERATOR

Overview

The Harogic PGA-60 is a high-performance, ultra-compact handheld Vector Signal Generator (VSG) covering a wide frequency spectrum from 9 kHz up to 6 GHz. Designed to bring laboratory-grade RF generation into mobile field environments, the PGA-60 combines up to 50 MHz real-time modulation and 100 MHz IQ playback bandwidth with a high-precision 16-bit DAC to deliver outstanding signal purity, low phase noise, and high spur suppression.

Weighing only 1.4 kg with a slim 46 mm chassis, the PGA-60 features an intuitive multi-touch screen alongside USB and LAN connectivity. Equipped with a built-in memory depth of 128 MB (32 M samples) for IQ playback, built-in GNSS 1PPS time synchronization (+/- 100 ns), and support for both standard analog and complex digital modulations (including QAM, OFDM, DSSS, and custom IQ waveforms), it is the ultimate tool for wireless network installation, RF device testing, interference simulation, and field maintenance.

Product Features

50 MHz Real-Time & 100 MHz Playback Bandwidth

Engineered with a high-speed 16-bit DAC and an advanced baseband processing core, the PGA-60 supports up to 50 MHz real-time modulation and a massive 100 MHz waveform playback bandwidth. This allows engineers to seamlessly simulate wideband signals such as 5G NR, Wi-Fi 6, and complex multi-carrier communications.

Comprehensive Analog & Digital Modulation Suite

Generates a wide variety of modulation profiles natively on the device:

• Analog Modulation: AM, FM, PM, and Pulse modulation.

• Digital Modulation: PSK, FSK, ASK, and QAM.

• Advanced & Custom Signals: DSSS, multi-carrier OFDM, Multitone, Digital Ramp, AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise), and direct user IQ waveform playback.

High-Purity RF Output & Low Phase Noise

Delivers top-tier RF performance with excellent spectral purity, low harmonic distortion, and tight spur suppression across the entire 9 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range.

Rugged Handheld Architecture

Weighing just 1.4 kg with compact physical dimensions (260 mm x 185 mm x 46 mm), the PGA-60 is tailored for field mobility. It features an integrated touchscreen interface for standalone field operation, while also supporting full remote control via PC GUI software over LAN or USB.

Integrated GNSS & High-Precision Synchronization

Includes a built-in GNSS receiver providing 1PPS time synchronization with an accuracy of +/- 100 ns (requires an external antenna). This feature allows precise time-stamped signal generation and synchronized multi-unit operations in distributed field testing applications.
