GENERAL
1.1 Brief Description
The MG3641A/MG3642A is a synthesized signal generator capable of outputing highly accurate, highly pure signals
over a broad frequency range.
The extremely excellent spurious characteristics and leakage characteristics offer to make the signal generator most
suitable to evaluate sensitivity characteristics and interference characteristics, which comprise the basic performance
of radio equipment.
Meanwhile, the signal generator can also be used to test communication systems operating with a variety of modulation
methods, such as a pager system, since it provides diverse modulation functions and frequency modulation with good
carrier frequency stability.
Its output level can be corrected over the entire frequency range. Because the signal generator allows to select high
level outputs and high resolutions, it can also serve to test various high frequency components.
The generator displays its basic functions, such as frequency, output level, and memory addresses, on a 7-segment
display unit. For those functions which require to have many parameters set, such as modulation, sweep function,
etc., it adopts the multimenu display. Moreover, the generator boasts of an outstanding operability, since it comes
equipped with a dedicated rotary knob and step keys for setting output levels.

SECTION 2
PRECAUTION
This section describes the preparatory work which must be performed before using the MG3641A/MG3642A Synthesized
Signal Generator and the precautions relating to (1) installation and (2) power supply. For GPIB cable connection, address
setting, etc, see Section 6.
2.1.1
CAUTION : If the MG3641A/MG3642A is used at room temperature after being used or stored at a low temperature
for a long time, condensation may occur inside the instrument which could cause short circuiting. Always
ensure that the MG3641A/MG3642A is thoroughly dry before turning on the power.
(2) Fan clearance
To prevent excessive temperature increase inside the MG3641A/MG3642A, a cooling fan is mounted on the rear
panel. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the rear panel and walls, peripheral devices, obstructions, etc. so
that air flow is not obstructed. Do not use the MG3641A/MG3642A on its side.
;;
;;;;;
10cm
2-1
SECTION 2 PRECAUTION
To protect circuits from an abnormal rise in the internal temperature, the MG3641A/MG3642A has a built-in
thermal protector. When the thermal protector operates, the MG3641A/MG3642A enters stand-by status (the stby
lamp lights).
If the thermal protector starts operating, check conditions surrounding the device and, after lowering the temperature
sufficiently, reset switch | on the rear panel. If the thermal protector enters operation repeatedly, the fan may be
broken. In this case, have it repaired.
2.2.1
CAUTION
Before power-on
2.2.2
CAUTION
The reverse power protector uses a mechanical switch. If a reverse power is applied frequently, the contact is
consumed. To use this protector, take maximum care not to apply a reverse power. Also never release the
reverse power protector as a reverse power remains applied, or a fault will occur in the reverse power protector.
The impedance of the RF output connector is opened during operation of the reverse power circuit. Be careful
to avoid damage due to a mismatched transmitter, etc.

SECTION 2 PRECAUTION
2.4.2
Fuse Replacement
The MG3641A/MG3642A is supplied with two 5 A or 3.15 A fuses shown in Table 1-2. The fuses are to be loaded
inside the fuse holders shown in Figure 2-2.
If a fuse blows, locate the fault and correct the cause before replacing.
CAUTION
If a fuse is replaced with the power turned on, there may be an electric shock hazard. Before replacing a fuse,
turn off the POWER switch and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
If the power is turned on without the protective grounding, there may be an electric shock hazard. When the
AC power voltage is unsuitable, the internal equipment may be damaged by an abnormal power.
Before turning on the power again after replacing a fuse, perform either protective grounding measures described
in Section 2.4.1 and check that the AC line voltage is suitable.
CAUTION
If there are no spare fuses, check that the replacement you obtain is of the same type, rated voltage and current
as the original.
If the fuse is not of the same type, it may not fit the holder, contact may be poor, or the fusing time may be too
long.
If the rated voltage and current of the replacement fuse are too high and trouble recurs, the new fuse may not
blow and the instrument could catch fire.
Take these safety measures before replacing a fuse in the following procedure:

DANGER
Turning power on without grounding protection could lead to a bodily injury due to electric shocks.
Where a three-pole (2-pole for grounding type) current outlet is not available, make sure you connect the frame
ground terminal (FG) located on the rear panel or the ground terminal of the accessory power cord to the
ground potential, before you supply power to the MG3641A/MG3642A.
4-1
WARNING
In case the AC line voltage fed to the unit is not an appropriate one, the interior of the signal generator may be
damaged because of abnormal voltages. Before switching on the MG3641A/MG3642A, check to make sure
that the AC line voltage meets the specified value.

Frequency Offset
Frequency offset means a function to offset a set frequency and a displayed frequency against the frequency to be
actually output.
When the frequency offset is activated, each frequency value will be expressed by the following equation:
[Actual Frequency] = [Set/Displayed Frequency] [Frequency Offset Value]
For example, if you set the frequency to 1 GHz after setting the frequency offset value to +10 MHz, the display will
indicate 1 GHz, but the actual output frequency will be 990 MHz.
To set a frequency offset value, follow the procedure detailed below:

Outline of Modulation
This signal generator provides AM and FM modulation functions. The FM modulation has two systems: FM1 and
FM2, frequency deviation of which can be set independently of each other.
This unit also comes with 5 different modulation signal sources, as shown below, and you can select any one of
them for each type of modulation.
Internal modulation : Int1 ........ Sine wave of 1 kHz or 400 Hz
Int2 ........ 0.01 Hz to 400 kHz digital synthesizer
Int3 ........ 0.01 Hz to 400 kHz digital synthesizer
External modulation : Ext1 ....... Signal supplied to the Mod Input Ext1 connector
Ext2 ....... Signal supplied to the Mod Input Ext2 connector

SECTION 5
MEASUREMENT
5.1 Measurement of Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the receiver means the minimum signal input level required to output the rated signal of the receiver.
The following incidental conditions are required for the signal level, noise level, and signal distortion obtained in the
output side of the receiver:
AM receiver ............. Indicated by the minimum value of the typically modulated carrier voltage required to output
the rated signal of the specified signal-noise rate (S/N). For example, when S/N = 20 dB, the
minimum value of the carrier input voltage for 60 % modulation required to output the 50mW signal is indicated by 10 V.
FM receiver .............. Indicated by the minimum value of the typically modulated carrier voltage required to obtain
the rated output and specified value (12 dB in 400 MHz) of the signal to noise and distortion
(SINAD) obtained by adding the signal distortion to the signal-noise rate (S/N). In addition,
this sensitivity is indicated by the minimum value of the carrier voltage required to suppress
the receiver noise output by 20 dB at no-modulation. This is called a noise suppression (NQ)
sensitivity.
This section describes the latter 20 dB NQ sensitivity and explains how to measure the 12 dB SINAD sensitivity.
5-1
SECTION 5 MEASUREMENT
5.1.1
Measuring 20 dB NQ sensitivity
The 20 dB NQ sensitivity is indicated the carrier input voltage (reading value of the output voltage of the signal
generator) required to suppress the noise output by 20 dB when there is no 20 dB noise quieting, e.g., signal input.
To obtain the noise output before suppressed, adjust the volume adjustment volume of the receiver so that the rated
signal output is obtained.

PROCEDURE
Set the MG3641A/MG3642A frequency to fd = 154.45 MHz.
Set the MG3641A/MG3642A frequency deviation to 70 % of the specified maximum frequency deviation
(3.5 kHz if the maximum frequency deviation is 5 kHz). Then, set the internal modulation frequency to 1
kHz.
Set the MG3641A/MG3642A to a sufficiently high output (ordinarily 30 dB or more) and apply it to the
receiver.
Turn off the squelch of the receiver, modulate the receiver to receiving frequency 154.45 MHz (maximize
the value of the level meter), adjust the volume adjustment volume of the receiver, and obtain the rated
output of the receiver from the indicator of the level meter.
Place the MG3641A/MG3642A into the relative frequency display mode.
While holding the receiver state, MG3641A/MG3642A modulation frequency, and frequency deviation to
the same, apply the spurious frequency of the receiver, fs = fd + 2 fi, to the receiver. The spurious
frequency is obtained by adding 2 fi = 2 10.7 MHz in the relative frequency mode.
Place the MG3641A/MG3642A into the relative level mode and set the output level resolution to 1 dB.
Adjust the MG3641A/MG3642A output level so that the value of the level meter becomes the same as the
rated output obtained in step 4.
The value indicated by the MG3641A/MG3642A output level indicator in step 8 is a spurious sensitivity.

NOTE
The cross-modulation occurs in the receiver as the desired signal modulated by the modulation signal of the
disturbing signal because the receiver operates non-linearly when the desired receiving signal is applied to the
receiver as well as a disturbing wave having a different higher-level modulated frequency.
(1) Setup
The configuration is the same as that of the 2-signal selectivity above. However, this paragraph describes the AM
receiver.
To explain the measurement procedure, the desired wave is set to 1500 kHz and the disturbing wave is separated
from it by 5 kHz n.

SECTION 6 GPIB
SCPI commands are based on a hierarchical structure. The commands are grouped according to the associated
functions. They form hierarchical structures called subsystems.
In this manual, each subsystem is represented by a command tree as shown in the above figure.
Where the same headers appear in a tree, the position of the headers correspond to different functions. This means
that commands must be written with the full path including the header to be used.
Examples:
6.2.4
FREQuency subsystem
FREQuency denotes the highest level node.
CW, CW? and SWEep denotes the second level node.
MODE, MODE?, TIME and TIME? denote the third level node.
<Numeric> and <Character> are used for CW, MODE and TIME parameter types, respectively.
<Freq term> and <Time term> are used for frequency and time unit types, respectively.

and lower-case.
(The three types of headers, FREQUENCY, Frequency, and frequency are all interpretable as the same header.)
Example: Long form
:FREQuency:SWEep:MODE AUTO
Short form
:FREQ:SWE:MODE AUTO
Long + Short :FREQ:SWEep:MODE AUTO
<Option node>
The symbol [ ] indicates an option node. The header enclosed within the [ ] may abbreviated. It is accepted as a
command whether abridged or unabridged.
Example: When a header is abridged
:FREQuency:CW 10 MHz
When a header is unabridged :FREQuency 10 MHz
<Command separator>
One or more spaces must be placed between a command and a parameter. Two or more parameters must be
separated with a comma ( , ).
6.2.5
Compounding Commands
Commands can be chained with a semicolon ( ; ) as shown in the following examples. The second command is
referred to the same level as the lowest layer of the first command. This allows the second command to be written
with the full path name, as shown in the example 1. However, as shown in example 2, the header with a higher order
than SWEep can be omitted.
Example: 1 :FREQuency:SWEep:MODE AUTO;:FREQuency:SWEep:TIME 50 ms
2 :FREQuency:SWEep:MODE AUTO;TIME 50 ms

All GPIB devices or only the specified device is initialized for message exchange. The message exchange initialization
is aimed at preparing so that a new command can be sent from the controller by initializing the message exchange
when the message exchange unit in the device cannot be controlled from the controller because another program
runs although the state set on the panel need not be changed.
DCL : Initializes the message exchange for all GPIB devices.
SDC : Initializes the message exchange only for the specified device.
6.6.3
Device initialization
Device initialization by *RST command:
The device function is returned to the preceding state regardless of the past use state. In the MG3641A/MG3642A,
it is returned in the same state set when the Preset key is pressed.

Not all MG3641A/MG3642A functions can be controlled in command interchange mode. To program the new
automatic measurement software, use the normal "SCPI" command.
Even if command interchange mode is used, complete interchangeability cannot be obtained because the hardware
configuration is different from that of the interchange object device. Paragraphs 6.10.2 and 6.10.3 describe the
restrictions in command interchange mode. The contents of these paragraphs must be understood before using
command interchange mode.

SECTION 6 GPIB
(2) Frequency
Frequency up and down (TFR and EFR) using the rotary knob are enabled by substituting the step key function. Using the step key and rotary knob to increase or decrease the frequency may not perform correctly
unless a frequency step value (FIS<Numeric><Freq term>) or frequency resolution (R0 to R9) is set.
Resetting the frequency (ZFR) cannot be interchanged because the MG3641A/MG3642A does not have an
equivalent function.
The frequency offset display function can be interchanged only with the multistatement description
(FOS<Numeric><Freq term>;SP12) of the offset frequency setting command (FOS<Numeric><Freq term>)
and offset display mode ON command (SP12) separated by a semicolon (;).
6-57
SECTION 6 GPIB
(4) AM modulation
AM modulation cannot be turned on by the AM modulation setting command (AM<Numeric><AM
term>).
Because AM modulation up and down (TEM and EAM) using the rotary knob are enabled by substituting
the step key function, the AM modulation resolution is fixed to ten percent.
Only 1 kHz (M1) and 400 Hz (M2) can be selected as the modulation signal source when INT AM is
executed. AF (M0) cannot be selected.
The Ext1 connector of Mod Input is assigned as the external modulation input of AM modulation.
INT and EXT cannot be modulated together (A4 and A5).
(5) FM modulation
FM modulation cannot be turned on using the FM deviation setting command (FM<Numeric><Freq term>).
Even if INT FM deviation fixing (IND<Numeric><Freq term>) or EXT FM deviation fixing
(EXD<Numeric><Freq term>) is executed, when FM deviation is set (FM<Numeric><Freq term>), both INT
FM deviation and EXT FM deviation become the same FM deviation.
When FM deviation is stepped up or down (UFM or DFM), the deviation changing amount of the MG3641A/
MG3642A becomes 2, 2 as against 10, 10 for the MG3633A.
Because FM deviation up and down (TFM and EFM) using the rotary knob are enabled by substituting the step
key function, the resolution cannot be selected. The rotary knob operates in the same manner as the step key.
Only 1 kHz (M1) or 400 Hz (M2) can be selected as the modulation signal source when INT FM is executed.
AS (MO) cannot be selected.
The Ext2 connector of Mod Input is assigned as the external modulation input of FM modulation.
The modulation signal polarity cannot be switched (SP23 or SP24).

SECTION 6 GPIB
(7) Sweep
Because the sweep marker of the MG3641A/MG3642A is always on, the sweep marker ON/OFF switching
commands (SF4, SO4, SF5, and SO5) are invalid.
Stepping up (SF8 and SO8) and down (SF9 and SO9) cannot be done during manual sweep.
The sweep start point presets (SFA and SOA) and stop point presets (SFB and SOB) cannot be interchanged
because the MG3641A/MG3642A does not have an equivalent function.
The AF frequency sweep cannot be executed because the MG3641A/MG3642A does not have this function.
The memory sweep function cannot be interchanged because sweep parameters and memory are managed
completely differently.
(8) Memory
Because the MG3641A/MG3642A does not have a frequency memory, the command relating to the frequency
memory (FQ) cannot be interchanged.
6-59
SECTION 6 GPIB
(2) Frequency
Frequency up and down (FU and FD) using the rotary knob are enabled by substituting the step key function.
Using the step key and rotary knob to increase or decrease the frequency may not perform correctly unless the
frequency step value (DF<Numeric><Freq term>) or frequency resolution digits (R1 to R7) are set.
(4) AM modulation
Only AM modulation settings using numeric data (AM<Numeric><AM term>) are valid. Stepping up or
down (MU or MD) cannot be used.
Because the MG3641A/MG3642A has only one system of AM modulation, AM MIX SOURCE cannot be
used.
The Ext1 connector of Mod Input is assigned as the external modulation input.
(5) FM modulation
Only FM deviation settings using numeric data (FM<Numeric><Freq term> or FM<numeric><Freq term>)
are valid. Stepping up or down (MU or MD) cannot be used.
The Ext1 connector of Mod Input is assigned as the external modulation input.

PERFORMANCE TEST
7.1 Performance Test Required
The performance test is performed as the preventive maintenance to prevent the MG3641A/MG3642A performance
from reducing.
The performance test is required when performance must be confirmed after the MG3641A/MG3642A acceptance
test, periodical inspection, or repair. For important items, it should periodically be performed as the preventive
maintenance.
If an item that does not satisfy the standard by the performance test is detected, contact the Anritsu service division.

The performance test is executed according to the ordinary use state; therefore, the user need not adjust the inside of
the device like the calibration. For important items, the performance test should be performed periodically for preventive
maintenance.
Use the performance test result sheet in Appendix E to record the test results.
CAUTION
For performance test, the tested unit and measuring instruments must sufficiently be preheated for at least 30

CALIBRATION
8.1 Calibration Required
The calibration is performed as the preventive maintenance to prevent the MG3641A/MG3642A performance from
reducing.
The calibration is required when the inside of this device need periodically be adjusted to maintain the MG3641A/
MG3642A performance even if the MG3641A/MG3642A itself operates normally.
If an item that does not satisfy the calibration standard is detected, contact out service division.

SECTION 8 CALIBRATION
8.3 Calibration
For the MG3641A/MG3642A, calibrate the frequency of the built-in Reference oscillator once a half year.
The stability of the MG3641A/MG3642A 10 MHz reference crystal oscillator is 5 10-9 per day. Therefore, as the
frequency standard, use a standard signal generator that receives the typical radio wave and subcarrier of the color
telecasting (signal locked to the rubidium atomic standard) and issues a signal locked to it.

PROCEDURE

2.
Set the
switch on the rear panel to ON to preheat the MG3641A/MG3642A Reference oscillator and
hold this state for 24 hours.
3.
After 24 hours lapsed, set the Stby/On switch on the front panel to ON.
4.
Apply the standard frequency to the external synchronization input of the oscilloscope. Also apply
the output signal of the buffer output connector on the rear of the MG3641A/MG3642A to vertical axis
Y of the oscilloscope.
5.
Adjust the oscilloscope so that the input waveform can be observed. If the input waveform on the
oscilloscope moves to the right or left and the synchronization is difficult, the frequency of the Reference oscillator does not match the standard.
6.
The MG3641A/MG3642A is provided a Rererence oscillator calibration hole on the read. See Figure 81. Turn the potentiometer in the hole so that the input waveform on the oscilloscope does not move to
the right or left.
Note : If standard frequency 10 MHz is applied to axis X of the oscilloscope, a Lissajouss waveform is generated.
In this case, adjust the frequency of the Reference oscillator in step 6 so that a static circle is drawn.
