The DS Instruments SG6000X dual-channel RF Signal Generator continues to set the industry standard in affordable ultra-compact RF Signal Generation. The SG6000X enables users to generate two separate RF signals easily and at extremely low cost without need for a host PC. Max output power is above +13 dBm, and can be adjusted downward in 0.25dB steps, or continuously via the internal variable attenuator.  The crisp OLED display provides useful feedback for the user, and front control buttons provide a quick alternative to USB control. Like most of our products, the SG6000X easily fits in the palm of your hand, making it a truly portable and space-saving device.
