INTRODUCTION
The 6060B Synthesized Signal Generator (referred to as the
Generator
or
instrument)
is
a
fully-programmable,
precision,
synthesized signal generator. The Generator is designed
for
applications that require good modulation, frequency accuracy, and output level
performance with moderate spectral purity. It is well
suited for
testing a wide variety of
RF components and
systems
including filters, amplifiers, mixers, and radios, particularly
on-channel
radio testing.
