IFR 6813/6815 Microwave Generator
Low Phase Noise Synthesized Source with 1Hz resolution
• Three models covering frequencies:
10 MHz to 20 GHz
10 MHz to 40 GHz
10 MHz to 46 GHz
• Optional step attenuators
• Integrated FM option, external FM stan-
dard, swept, CW and CW list mode
available
• Optional trigger board
List Mode
Frequency list mode provides up to 1024 frequencies that can be
entered into a list and output on receipt of a trigger command. The
trigger modes comprise: internal continuous, internal single step,
RS-232 control lines and external. The trigger sources can be from
either: menu softkey, GPIB or RS-232 command (GET or *TRG) or
a TTL trigger if the optional trigger board is fitted.
List mode can be enabled in either forward or reverse direction
through the frequency list.
• Modular design for rapid service
• Built-in user level calibration
Several lists can be stored as instrument settings to internal memo-
ry or floppy disks.
Synthesized Generator
The synthesized generator has low phase noise

3 GHz range. Internal filtering results in excellent
harmonic performance of <-55 dBc.
Functionality
Optional step attenuators are available to set low
output powers for amplifier or receiver testing.
In CW mode the generator can be used for local
oscillator substitution. A power sweep is provided
for amplifier gain compression testing. External
FM can be applied by connecting an AF source to
the rear panel. With the FM option, an internal
generator provides frequency modulation of the
