v07.0216
Wide Frequency range, 10 MHz to 20 GHz Signal Generator!
The HMC-T2220 is an easy to implement test equipment solution designed to fulfill your signal
generation needs. Built on a foundation of high quality and market leading Hittite MMICs, the
HMC-T2220 provides the highest output power, lowest harmonic levels and broadest frequency
range amongst signal generators of its size and cost.
This compact and lightweight signal generator also features USB, GPIB and Ethernet
interfaces ensuring carefree integration within various test environments while improving overall
productivity and equipment utilization.
The HMC-T2220 incorporates several product upgrades: reduced spurious, wider dynamic range,
higher frequency resolution, higher RF output power, reduced RF off leakage, quieter fan opera-
tion, improved front panel knob functions for display scrolling, a ruggedized handle that is customer
removable, and an added TrIGGEr OUT function.

HMC-T2100 Compatibility
To facilitate integration into existing HMC-T2100 applications, the HMC-T2220 has a HMC-T2100 compatibility
mode. In this mode, the HMC-T2220 identifies itself as a HMC-T2100 so that the HMC-T2100 USB drivers will work
for a HMC-T2220, and programs which use the *IDn? string will recognize a HMC-T2220 as a HMC-T2100. Fre-
quency resolution, maximum and minimum values for power, and minimum sweep dwell time also change to match
the HMC-T2100.

Its compact size, light weight, fast switching speed and USB,
GBIP and Ethernet control interfaces support the standard
SCPI command set ensuring smooth integration within all test
environments, particularly those associated with automated
test. An installation disk that accompanies each unit includes
all the drivers required to remotely control the device as well as
a user friendly GUI interface (right) compatible with a Windows
XP
®
, Windows Vista
®
or Windows 7
®
operating system. User
control is facilitated via pull down menus that allow program-
ming of single or swept modes in frequency or power. Integra-
tion of multiple units within a production test environment is
easy, and affordable.
