B&K Precision (Yorba Linda, CA) has announced the addition of three new DDS (direct digital synthesis) sweep function generator models: 4014B, 4040B, and 4045B. All models generate stable and precise sine, square, and triangle waveforms, and provide output voltages from 0 to 10 Vpp into 50 ohms or 20 Vpp into open circuit. The 4014B presents a new 12 MHz function generator with sweep and AM/FM modulation functions to B&K’s DDS generator line, while the 4040B and 4045B directly replace previous 20 MHz models 4040DDS and 4045. The 4045B adds a 12-bit, 50 MSa/s, 1k point arbitrary waveform capability. These new models are ideal for use in education and training, as well as other applications requiring low-cost sweep function generators with modulation or arbitrary waveform capabilities. Features include:

• DDS technology with a low-jitter square wave generator minimizes jitter and improves edge stability of square waves.
• Separate output amplitude and DC offset amplifiers.
• DC offsets from -4.99 V to 4.99 V (into 50 ohms).
• Amplitude output signal as low as 10 mV.
