It is intended for CW (carrier wave) applications where modulation is not required, an approach that avoids the costs associated with adding modulation and keeps it significantly lower in cost than other 6 GHz generators. Output level is adjustable from −110 dBm to +7 dBm in 0.1 dB steps, with frequency set to 10 Hz resolution and entered in dBm, µV/mV, or dBµV. An RF signal generator produces a known, controllable signal used to stimulate a device under test, against which an engineer measures the response. The TGR6000 serves CW and swept or stepped CW applications: a single carrier can be held steady, or frequency and amplitude can be swept across a defined range or driven through a user-defined list to match virtually any required test pattern. Its trim function lets the output level be adjusted to calibrate an entire test set-up. ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Operating since 1992, we support engineers and labs with both new and used test and measurement equipment across a broad range of categories. ## Brand Heritage Aim-TTi is the brand under which Thurlby Thandar Instruments Ltd. designs and builds its test instruments in Europe, based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom. ## Product Core & Specifications Specification Value Frequency Setting Frequency Range 10MHz to 6000MHz Setting Resolution 10Hz Accuracy/Stability See Reference Frequency section.
