Agilent/HP 8644A Synthesized Signal Generator

HP-8644A Features and Specifications *

The HP 8644A is a high-performance RF signal generator that offers a frequency range of 252 kHz to 1030 MHz, with optional coverage up to 200 kHz. It provides excellent spectral purity, with low phase noise and low spurious features, making it ideal for R&D and communication equipment testing. The device uses a modular platform that allows users to configure the instrument for their specific application, making it a versatile instrument for various testing needs.

This unit offers AM, FM, and pulse modulation for receiver measurements, with frequency deviations up to 20 MHz combined with specified rates up to 100 kHz. The AM performance includes 0-100% depth and rates up to 100 kHz. Additionally, the HP 8644A provides an optional internal modulation synthesizer that offers four sources, each with a frequency coverage of 0.1 Hz to 400 kHz and sine, square, sawtooth, and white Gaussian noise waveforms. Two of these sources can be summed together to provide two-tone capability, and one of these sources can be modulated by up to three of the sources with AM/FM/BM and pulse.

Model 8644A is designed for sensitive measurements, with a typical leakage of < 1 WV induced in a two-turn loop. For even more sensitive measurements, Option 010 provides low leakage configuration, which provides more RF shielding and has typical leakage of 0.1 wV. This signal generator also contains its own firmware and hardware for calibration, troubleshooting, and monitoring instrument performance. Built-in sensors continually monitor internal voltages to notify users of temperature drift, hardware failure, or the need for recalibration.

The HP-8644A price and features make it a very attractive option comparing to similar signal generators available on the market.
