Product Description
The Instrument is an RF Reference Source designed to create the signals needed for
precision RF and microwave applications. See Figure 1-1. Signal delivery via
interchangeable Leveling Heads ensures a unique combination of level accuracy,
dynamic range, and frequency coverage in both 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm systems.
The following is a list of the features that enable the Instrument to be readily integrated
into a typical RF calibration system:
•
Accurate level / attenuation over a wide dynamic range
•
Precision internal AM/FM modulation, including External Modulation capability
•
Frequency Range includes both LF, and RF
•
High signal purity with no additional filtering
•
Passive Leveling Heads to ensure direct and precise signal delivery to the load
•
Low Phase Noise – two performance levels in the 9640A and 9640A-LPN products
•
IEEE 488 Remote Interface
•
Remote command emulation of legacy signal generators (optional)
•
Rack Mount Slide Kit (optional)
