Overview of High-Frequency Signal Equipment
The discussion revolves around various types of signal generation and measurement equipment utilized in high-frequency applications. This article summarizes the key components and functionalities of the mentioned devices.
Signal Generators
Signal generators form the backbone of high-frequency testing and research. The transcript lists several different types, each with specific frequency ranges suited for various applications:
- Standard Signal Generators: Capable of operating in frequencies ranging from as low as 55 megacycles to over several gigacycles. For instance, there is a generator that operates from 180 to 400 megacycles, while another is noted to cover 1.8 gigahertz up to 2.4 gigahertz.
