Berkeley BNC Model 865B| 100 kHz to 40 GHz RF / Microwave Signal Generator Front view
The Model 865 Series RF / Microwave Signal Generator offers our highest performance level with ultra-low noise signals from 100kHz to 40GHz (settable to 42 GHz). The compact design introduces new power options allowing a broad dynamic range to meet a wide range of applications. The 865 also leverages a faster power and frequency switching capability to expand your ability to test receivers, components, antennas, and other devices. The front panel touchscreen allows full operation of the instrument while a simple GUI is also included for remote operation. You can connect by USB, LAN or GPIB to control your instrument. RF signal performance across a broad frequency range, with accurate output power control, is now affordable and available in a small enclosure.
