2, Overview
WB-SG1 is a newly developed wide band signal source, with frequency range
from 1Hz-8gHz (ch1,1Hz-200m, ch2,35m-8g), OPT15G ( H1,1Hz-200M, H2,
10M-15G), no interruption, channel 2 with on-off modulation, modulation frequency
can be set through ch1, ch1 output square wave 3.3vpp, H2 output power about
0dbm,

6, FAQ
Q1 : how can I know the machine is good.
A 1: Test with frequency meter, oscilloscope, spectrum, radio, walkie talkie and other
equipment
Q2:output freqnency is not accuary,how to do
A2: adjust behind pot or used extern frequency
Q3:output frequency amplifiler too small too big,how to do
A3:used extern amplifiler of attenuator
