A compact, high-performance RF generator 

The BNC RFS-1000 is a compact, high-performance RF generator. Available in two models, it is designed for precise signal generation in advanced testing and measurement applications.

  • RFS-1220: 0.1 - 22 GHz
  • RFS-1420: 0.1 - 42 GHz

Operating at a frequency of 20,000 MHz with an amplitude of 15 dBm, this single-channel generator delivers stable and accurate output ideal for research laboratories, telecommunications, and electronic development. Its exceptional phase noise of -124 dBc/Hz ensures minimal signal distortion, making it suitable for sensitive RF experiments and calibration tasks.

The BNC RFS-1220 combines reliability and precision, providing users with a robust tool for generating high-frequency signals in industrial and scientific environments.
