Get a kick out of newbies that immediately claim somethings "broken/bug" because it doesn't "behave" the way they expect, without taking the time to understand the reasoning behind why things behave the way they do!!!
That's why I usually ask "what's up with this" rather than assuming something is a bug. 😉
I recently received Siglent SDG2042X. According to the specs, the maximum frequency is 40 MHz. I want to send an arbitrary waveform to 1.8 GHz or 2.4 GHz. How can I make it work?
Thank you so much.

Buy another AWG that can generate in that range. MHz < GHz.
Or buy an RF mixer to run the RF frequency in the GHz range to pair with the signal generator.
if a square wave (or other not sine/cosine) signal with a frequency of 5 MHz is fed to an RF mixer with a frequency transfer to 1 GHz, this does not mean that you will get a square wave with a frequency of 1.005/0.995 GHz. therefore, it will still not be possible to transmit synthesized waveforms by this method.
