Wavetek 2001 Sweep Signal Generator, 1-1400 Mhz RF
The Wavetek Model 2001 Sweep/Signal Generator delivers precision frequency coverage from 1 to 1400 MHz in a rugged, modular design ideal for laboratory, service, and production environments. It provides accurate and repeatable RF output across three overlapping bands, supporting both CW and sweep operation with remote programming and modulation control. Designed for long-term reliability, it features plug-in modules for simplified maintenance and optional amplitude modulation for low-level recovery testing--making it a favorite among professionals and collectors of vintage audio visual and surplus electronic gear within the Recycled Goods market.
- Frequency Range: 1-1400 MHz in three overlapping bands (1-500, 450-950, 900-1400 MHz)
- Operating Modes: Start/Stop, ?"f (sweep), and CW modes
- Output Level: +10 to -80 dBm; 70 dB range in 10 dB steps plus 20 dB vernier with ±0.5 dB to 500 MHz, ±1 dB to 1 GHz, ±2 dB to 1.4 GHz accuracy
- Residual FM: Less than 15 kHz; drift 100 kHz/5 min, 2 MHz/8 hours after warm-up
- Sweep Rate: Adjustable from <10 ms to >100 s with selectable sweep modes (manual, triggered, repetitive, line lock)
- Modulation: Optional 1 kHz square-wave AM providing up to 100% modulation; external AM/FM control via rear REMOTE jack
- Output Impedance: 50 Ω with VSWR ≤1.3:1
- Power Requirements: 115/230 VAC ±10%, 50-60 Hz, approximately 20 W
Built for durability and precision, the Wavetek 2001 remains a benchmark in RF sweep technology--combining analog performance with modular flexibility for modern calibration and signal testing tasks.
Additional performance highlights include a front-panel sweep width control with a 10-turn dial, LED frequency display, and provisions for external sweep voltage inputs. The generator supports synchronization and trigger control for precise test automation, and the modular RF head architecture allows for fast service or replacement without full recalibration. With its low distortion, excellent repeatability, and broad frequency agility, the Wavetek 2001 continues to serve as a reliable and cost-effective signal source for demanding RF measurement applications.
