Lookin for Fun gen

[MikeJuszkie]

Im looking for a function gen that can do sine and square up to at least 50MHz. Sweeping and modulation would be awesome as well.  I am looking for a project to build not so much to just get a piece just buying one. I want to get my hands on the inside and build one but I would like to start with a kit of some sort. I have looked online but only find kits up to 50KHz and sont have sweep functions. Any suggestions?

50 MHz with sweep/modulation is a tall order for a project. Are you sure you need 50 MHz?

Few function generators under a few k$ will do square waves up to 50 MHz. In general you would be looking at dedicated pulse generators for this. For high-frequency sinewaves you'd use an RF signal or sweep generator. A function generator is kind of a jack of all trades, master of none. HP made some hybrid pulse/function generators (eg. 8111) that might come close to meeting that spec.

Aww well I guess if you want to play big you got to pay big
