The Fluke 6062A/AG is a synthesized signal generator engineered for RF testing, communications systems evaluation, and component characterization. It delivers precise frequency synthesis across 100 kHz to 2.1 GHz with output levels spanning +16 dBm to −137 dBm, supported by multiple modulation modes and exceptional spectral purity. The instrument integrates GPIB/IEEE-488 control, making it suitable for both benchtop measurement and automated test environments.
