Question:
How does the 6062A RF signal generator work?

Answer:
A signal generator and various other generators such as: arbitrary waveform generator, digital pattern generator, frequency generator, function generator, test signal generator or tone generator, are electronic devices that generate repeating or non-repeating electronic digital or analog signals. They are generally used in designing, testing, troubleshooting and repairing electronic devices. There are many different types of signal generators with different applications.

Some popular signal generators include:
HP 8664A Agilent E4436B Rohde & Schwarz SMA100

U.S. President Barack Obama’s campaign promise to develop alternative energy sources includes a goal of 1 million Plug-In Hybrid cars – cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon – on the road by 2015 and ensure 10 percent of our electricity comes from renewable sources by 2012, with a 25 percent goal by 2025. Solar, wind and fuel cell systems consumed an estimated $800 million in semiconductors in 2008, a figure that could rise to nearly $2 billion by 2012, according to a report from The Information Network. Some of the anticipated growth will come as the result of the recently passed economic stimulus package that calls for spending approximately $43 billion on alternative energy including about $4.3 billion on smart electric grids.
