Aim-TTi TG2000 Function Generator - 20MHz

DDS stands for Direct Digital Synthesis. It's a method of generating waveforms digitally using a phase accumulator, a lookup table, and a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), which offers high accuracy and stability.

The TG2000 can generate standard waveforms such as sine, square, and triangle waves. Specific models may offer additional waveform types or variations.

The TG2000 model typically supports frequencies up to 20MHz, as indicated by its product name.

The standard output impedance for the Aim-TTi TG2000 is 50 Ohms, which is common for electronic test equipment.

The accuracy and stability of the generated waveforms are directly related to the accuracy and stability of the crystal master clock within the DDS system. A higher quality master clock leads to more precise outputs.

While the TG2000 offers up to 20MHz, its suitability for specific RF testing depends on the signal purity and modulation capabilities required. It's generally well-suited for lower frequency or general-purpose signal generation tasks.

Verify that the unit is powered on. Check that the output is enabled and the amplitude is set to a non-zero value. Ensure the BNC cable is securely connected at both ends.

Confirm that the correct waveform type is selected. Ensure the frequency setting is as intended. If issues persist, consider that DDS accuracy is tied to the master clock; a factory reset or professional calibration might be needed for critical applications.

Check the power cord connection at both the unit and the wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is functioning correctly by testing with another device. If the unit has an internal fuse, check its condition (refer to the manual for fuse replacement).
