800-MHz generator debuts
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 10/1/2005
Signal Forge has released a digitally synthesized signal generator with an 800-MHz range, usable to 1 GHz, for less than $1000. The Signal Forge 800 (SF800) features a dedicated digital output with programmable voltage levels for testing digital systems and integrated circuits. It also provides an AC coupled output and a differential output for testing wireless devices.
The SF800, which measures 8.5x5.5x1.5 in., produces both sine waves and square waves from 1 kHz to 1 GHz in 1-Hz increments. Applications include characterizing narrow-band communication systems as well as the IF and RF section of receivers and subsystems. Signal Forge, www.signalforge.com.
