The TGR6000 is a highly cost effective solution for engineers requiring a high quality generator
operating up to 6GHz.
No modulations are incorporated, but rapid settling times enables a fast stepped sweep.
Level trim allows amplitude to be adjusted at various frequencies to match the requirements
of specfic test set-ups.
List sweep enables up to 1000 points of amplitude versus frequency to be defined.
