I working on calibrating a oscilloscop.. I need a calibrated 60 Mhz and can this be made with basic parts and skills ???
Could you use a gps reference ???

Sorry I meant 60 Mhz and I am trying to output a sine or square wave to check the calibration of my Tek 2215.. The scopes max is 60 Mhz and it doesn't have to be 60Mhz but hopefully pretty close..Hello,
I think you mean 60 MHz and not 60 millihertz.
What accuracy would you expect from the generator?
Perhaps this 60 MHz TCXO will do the job:

You need many frequencies to calibrate a scope. A time mark generator is usually used.The scopes max is 60 Mhz and it doesn't have to be 60Mhz but hopefully pretty close..
I have a DDS and signal generator and plus I picked up a Heathkit IG-4504 scope calibrator..You need many frequencies to calibrate a scope. A time mark generator is usually used.

I should probably explain myself a little clearer.. This scope turned on when I got it and never showed a signal when terminated cause the input resistors where shot.. After alot of help form the yahoo Tektronics group I figured a couple more issues and possible upgrades to the trigger system.. I just trying to make sure the scope is use able and somewhat calibrated ..What kind of project do you plan to work on that will require such a precisely calibrated scope?
Do you want to calibrate the time base, or the amplitude at that frequency? Note that the bandwidth is usually up to the -3dB point.I working on calibrating a oscilloscop.. I need a calibrated 60 Mhz and can this be made with basic parts and skills ???
