  • Notes

  • The 8640 signal generator covers the frequency range 500 kHz to 512 MHz (450 kHz to 550 MHz with hand overrange) and can be extended to  1100 MHz with an internal doubler (option 002). An optional audio oscillator is also available to extend the CW output range of the generator down to 20 Hz. This broad coverage, together with calibrated output and modulation, provides for complete RF and IF performance tests on virtually any type of VHF, and UHF receivers.

    output level range:  +19 to -145 dBm
    leveled to within ±0.5 dB across the full frequency range of the instrument
    SSB phase noise is >130 dB/Hz
