The BK Precision 4045B is a 20 MHz DDS (direct digital synthesis) sweep function generator with arbitrary waveform capability. It produces sine, square, triangle, and user-defined arbitrary waveforms with variable output from 10 mVpp to 10 Vpp into a 50 Ω load (up to 20 Vpp into open circuit), a continuously variable DC offset, and a built-in frequency counter. A bright color LCD displays a preview of the output waveform alongside the active frequency, amplitude, and offset parameters.

The 4045B is suited to education and to applications that require a DDS function generator with sweep, modulation, and arbitrary waveform capabilities. The unit supports continuous, triggered, gate, and burst output modes, and its low-jitter square wave generation supports simulating clock signals, generating triggers, and validating serial data buses. AM and FM modulation are available with both internal and external sources, and linear or logarithmic sweep covers 10 ms to 100 s sweep times.

Accessories Supplied

  • Power cord
  • USB (type A to B) interface cable
  • Certificate of calibration
