Model 835 RF Signal Generator

Model 835 | 9 kHz to 4 GHz or 6 GHzMicrowave/RF Signal Generator

Berkeley Nucleonics' Model 835 is a low-noise, fast-switching analog RF signal generator that covers a frequency range from 9 kHz up to 6.1 GHz.

The Model 835-6 provides full RF signal generator capabilities including stabilized OCXO, low phase noise signal with sub-Hertz frequency resolution, wide and accurately leveled output power ranges, extensive modulation capabilities, and fast switching. It is an RF Signal Generator targeted for a wide range of applications where high-quality analog signals are mandatory and provide an excellent, cost-effective alternative to expensive high-end RF signal generators with a small size and excellent RF performance.

The extremely compact, rugged design of the Model 835 Signal Generator operates at very low DC power consumption (only 12 watts) with minor heat dissipation. Additionally, the low power design allows the use of optional internal battery modules which make it a truly portable instrument, ideally suited for field testing, installation, and maintenance.
