Hi,

I have a spare RF signal generator that has an unmarked output from a
type of socket I've never seen before. What's the simplest way of
establishing its output impedance? I've had a few ideas but no doubt
someone out there will know of something better, since I always seem
to end up making unnecessary work for myself.
Any suggestions?

One more thing to keep in mind, Paul. Over here in the US it is and has for
a long time been standard to display the LOAD level on the generator output
indicator. That is, the voltage (or power) at the load itself (assuming
matched). In the UK - but I don't know about recently, it was common to
show the generator EMF -- which meant the internal generator voltage. This
would be twice what would appear across the load if the load & source Z were
equal.

From your Sig you may very well be familiar with the EMF designation...
