RF Explorer Signal Generator Expansion adds major improvement to the standard RF Explorer RFE6GEN Generator. The new generator expansion board includes important functions requested by our most demanding customers. By adding this expansion board the RFE6GEN becomes an RF Explorer Signal Generator COMBO.
The new Expansion product extends the RFE6GEN to include harmonic filtering, high-performance amplifiers for higher output power, fine amplitude adjustment, and support for frequencies as low as 100KHz covering up to 6GHz with no gaps.
