RF signal generator sweeps to 6 GHz

The new TGR6000 RF signal generator from Aim-TTi is capable of sweeping from 10 MHz to 6000 MHz in a single range. The generator has several sweep modes including step sweep and list sweep. In step sweep, the frequency and/or amplitude are stepped between two fixed points using up to 1000 steps which can have a fixed time period or a triggered interval. Sweeps can be linear or logarithmic, up or down. In list sweep, frequency and amplitude points are defined within a table enabling any sweep pattern to be used. Dwell times are fully adjustable down to 10 ms. The TGR6000 covers a frequency range of 10 MHz to 6000 MHz at an output level of between -110 dBm and +7 dBm, adjustable in 0.1 dB steps. The frequency resolution is 10 Hz, and the internal timebase stability is better than one part in 10^6. An external reference can be used for higher accuracy. The TGR6000 is intended for CW signal applications and has no built-in modulations. Full digital remote control facilities are provided through the GPIB, RS232, USB, and LAN (Ethernet) interfaces. The TGR6000 costs £2850 (plus VAT) in the UK. www.aimtti.co.uk
