Used TEKTRONIX FG502 #9106328 for sale

TEKTRONIX FG502 is a versatile, powerful and reliable signal generator which provides excellent performance for the test and design of a wide range of electronic systems. The generator is able to cover the operating frequencies from 10 Hz to 500 MHz and offers a wide range of output waveforms, intricate modulation capabilities and phase-locked/synchronous operation with other types of generators. FG502 uses a direct digital synthesizer to generate the desired waveforms, allowing it to produce very accurate and stable signals. It features 10-Digit Hertz resolution on all frequencies, and has a frequency drift of less than 0.2 Hz/V, allowing it to sustain high level of performance in a wide range of environmental conditions. The instrument comes with a range of standard modulation formats: AM, FM, and Phase Modulation (PM), including the option to vary the sine-wave carrier frequency, modulation frequency, and modulation percentage. Frequency sweeping, arbitrary waveforms, and external analog modulation are also supported. With its advanced modulation capabilities, TEKTRONIX FG502 is ideal for testing the performance of sensors, control systems, communications systems, and other electronic systems. FG502 also includes an output power meter, allowing users to quickly read and verify the peak output power and peak envelope power of their signals. This can be especially useful for measuring the power of radio-frequency (RF) signals or for conducting RF-compatibility testing. Additionally, TEKTRONIX FG502 can be configured with multiple simultaneous outputs, allowing it to produce high-level signals on multiple frequencies for complex systems that require multiple signals. FG502 also includes a comprehensive set of triggers and synchronization options. The generator can be synchronized to other FG502s and to a variety of other standard test instruments, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and frequency counters. And the instrument can act as a source for external signals, allowing other equipment to be synchronized to its outputs. Finally, TEKTRONIX FG502 is designed to be fast and easy to use. It features a large, color touchscreen LCD display with direct menu access, allowing for quick and effortless programming. All settings and output waveshapes are easily customizable from the front panel or through the powerful microprocessor-based operating system. Overall, FG502 is an economical yet reliable signal source that can be used for a variety of electronic tests and system designs.
