  • Notes

  • The HP8644A Synthesized Signal Generator is a high perform­ance, 252 kHz to 1030 MHz generator that provides excellent spec­tral purity for confidence in RF measurements. For R&D or stringent testing of communications equipment, the low phase noise and low spurious provide the measurement margin necessary for repeatability and accuracy.

    For receiver measurements the HP8644A offers AM, FM, and pulse modulation. FM deviations up to 20 MHz combined with speci­fied rates to 100 kHz can test most communication receivers. AM performance includes 0-100% depth and rates to 100 kHz.

    The unit has typical leakage of <1 µV induced in a two-turn loop, which is sufficient for most R&D or production testing. For sensitive measurements, Option 010, a low leakage configuration, provides more RF shielding and has typical leakage of 0.1 µV.
