This is a common problem with signal generators using step attenuators at the output stage. During changing of the RF carrier level, these step attenuators can cause unwanted overshoot (glitches) at the output signal, which could cause damage to the EUT or RF amplifier in the EMC test setup. The RadiGen uses a fully solid-state RF output design without step attenuators, resulting in a 100% monotone output signal without any unwanted overshoot and glitches.
