DDS function generator boasts stability
-- Test & Measurement World, 8/1/2008
Heading Protek’s B8000FD series of dual-output DDS function generators is the Model B8040FD, an instrument that operates from 1 µHz to 40 MHz with harmonic distortion of less than –54 dBc for sine waves; for square waves, the frequency range is up to 5 MHz, and it is 1 MHz for all other waveforms. The instrument also delivers 40-ppm long-term stability and 1-ppm short-term stability.
The B8040FD also generates square, pulse, triangle, ramp, exponential up, and exponential down waveforms, plus noise. It provides AM, FM, PM, FSK, ASK, and PSK modulation and bursts of up to 65,535 of all internal waveforms.
Base price: B8003FD—$387; B8010FD—$484; B8020FD—$599; B8040FD—$778. Protek, www.protektest.com.
