Model 845-OEM | 100 kHz to 20 GHz Microwave/RF Signal Generators for OEM Applications

The Model 845-OEM series is a compact, board-level RF signal generator built for straightforward integration into custom test systems, automated equipment, and embedded designs. It uses a shielded enclosure to maintain clean performance in dense or noisy environments, with full design support available to help match your specific requirements.

  • Frequency Range & Resolution: Covers 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz with high frequency resolution for precise tuning in microwave and RF applications.
  • Output Performance: Wider dynamic range, higher RF output power, reduced spurs, lower RF off leakage, and added trigger-out capability for better control and signal quality.
  • Interfaces: Standard USB and Ethernet connectivity; optional GPIB for compatibility with legacy or production test setups.
  • Integration-Friendly Design: Compact board assembly that fits into standard racks or customer chassis—simply provide power and cooling.
  • Shielded Enclosure: Custom shielding minimizes interference, supporting reliable operation in multi-module or high-density systems.

This embedded RF microwave signal generator suits applications such as automated test equipment (ATE), OEM instrumentation, radar simulation, receiver testing, and system-level validation where space, performance, and integration ease are priorities.
