B+K Precision BK406xB Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators up to 120 MHz
The B+K Precision BK406xB series are dual-channel function and arbitrary waveform generators with 40, 80, or 120 MHz (sine). All three models are capable of generating 16 bit arbitrary waveforms up to 300 MS/s in DDS (direct digital synthesis) mode and up to 75 MS/s in true point-by-point arbitrary mode. All models feature two independent channels with one-button synchronization, a 200 MHz frequency counter with a dedicated input on the back panel, a sweep function (linear or logarithmic), expanded triggering capabilities and a variable DC offset. The series also offers extensive analog and digital modulation capabilities including amplitude and frequency modulation (AM/FM), double sideband amplitude modulation (DSB-AM), amplitude and frequency shift keying (ASK/FSK), phase modulation (PM), phase shift keying (PSK) and pulse width modulation (PWM). Users can select from one of the 196 built-in arbitrary waveforms or create custom point-by-point arbitrary waveforms using the included application software.
