6062A

The Giga-tronics 6062A is a synthesized RF signal generator covering the 100 kHz to 2.1 GHz frequency range. Developed originally under the Fluke brand and subsequently supported by Giga-tronics, it delivers high spectral purity, indirect synthesis, and a full suite of modulation capabilities including AM, FM, phase modulation, and fast-rise pulse modulation as a standard feature, making it highly suited for pulsed communications, radar receiver testing, and automated test environments.
