The sweep generator is a microprocessor-based source of RF and microwave energy. It uses from one to four
YIG-tuned oscillators to cover one or more frequency bands within a range of 10 MHz to 60 GHz. The sweep
generator is capable of producing both broad (full range) and narrow band sweeps, along with discrete CW
frequencies, across its entire range. It is fully controllable locally from the front panel or remotely (except for
power on/off) via the IEEE-488 bus (GPIB).
