Test signal generators can be divided into two camps: function generators and RF/microwave signal generators. When an elaborate waveform is needed at a lower frequency, such as 10 MHz, reach for the function generator, also known as an aribtrary waveform generator, which can create almost any form of signal waveform, including sine, square, pulse, ramp, and triangle waves. When a higher-frequency sine wave is required, such as in the GHz range, make sure it is an RF/microwave signal generator.
Learn some other factors to consider when choosing between a Function Generator or Signal Generator by reading our blog post "Generate the Right Function for the Job" which takes a closer look at function generators.
