Description
Hewlett Packard 608F VHF Signal Generator, 115/230 Volts 50-400 Cycles
The Hewlett Packard 608F VHF Signal Generator is a precision lab-grade instrument built for reliable RF signal generation between 10 MHz and 455 MHz. Known for its exceptional stability and low drift, this generator delivers clean, amplitude-modulated RF outputs ideal for testing, calibration, and alignment of receivers, antennas, and transmission systems. Designed with Hewlett Packard's solid engineering standards, it supports both internal and external modulation and includes automatic output leveling for consistent signal accuracy.
- Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 455 MHz in five bands (10--21, 21--44, 44--95, 95--210, 210--455 MHz)
- Output Level: Continuously adjustable from 0.1 V to 0.5 V into a 50 load
- Frequency Accuracy: 1% with fine cursor adjustment; stability better than 210/min with HP 8708A Synchronizer
- Amplitude Modulation: Internal 400 Hz or 1000 Hz sine wave, 0--95% modulation depth; external AM or pulse modulation supported
- Output Impedance: 50 with 1.2 SWR (return loss 20.8 dB)
- Residual FM: Less than 5 parts in 10 in a 10 kHz post-detection bandwidth
- Power Requirements: 115 or 230 VAC 10%, 50--400 Hz, 220 W
- Dimensions & Weight: 13.25" W 16.75" H 21" D, approximately 62 lb (28 kg)
This HP 608F is a cornerstone instrument among vintage audio visual and surplus electronic gear enthusiasts. Its enduring precision and serviceability make it a valuable find in the world of Recycled Goods and legacy RF technology.
