Wavetek 164 30MHZ signal and sweep generator


This is a Wavetek Model 164 30MHz Sweep Generator, S/N 266811. Because of its versatility and intuitive ease-of-use, the 164 is one of Wavetek’s most successful all-analog products. Signal generator circuitry is mainly constructed from discrete transistors; no hard-to-find modular components or specialized integrated circuits.
Front panel controls are readily accessible and functionality clearly identified with a frequency range spanning twelve decades from 30uHz (9.2 hours per cycle) to 30MHz. If you haven’t used this generator for a month or two, the re-learning curve is very short. In the work environment, the Wavetek 164 is the favored signal generator for the non-electronic scientist preferring a user-friendly signal source for performing lab experiments.
Waveform choices include sine, square, triangle, trapezoidal pulse; each with variable amplitude, DC offset, symmetry/duty cycle, sweep and sync output. A trapezoidal waveform can be created with varying rise and fall times, slope control, invert and non-invert signal, width and symmetry with external single event trigger input capability.
Output source impedance is 50 ohms with a maximum signal output level of (1) 20Vp-p open circuit or (2) 10Vp-p (into a 50 ohm load). Output signal is short-circuit protected. Maximum signal attenuation is -80dB.
This recently tested Wavetek 164 is fully functional. Over the past ten years this signal generator was used on occasion; never experienced any operational problems. Overall physical condition is very good. Reason I’m selling this 164 is because I’m reducing my personal test equipment inventory of several Wavetek 164’s.
Prior to delivery, a personal check must have cleared.
