The latest edition of the medical device standard requires testing to 2.5 GHz, and work is progressing on the requirement to test other equipment to 2 GHz. This is to cover the 1.89GHz cell phones, and in the possibly in the future the 2.4 GHz band.
If you have the option the purchase of a generator with an upper limit above 2.5 would be advisable as the newer standards could become mandatory in the next 5 or so years (the medical standard is mandatory in 2004).

Does anybody out there have a feel for where the upper test frequency limit is likely to go for industrial instruments covered by EN 61326 and similar? Is it likely to remain at 1 GHz, or is an extension to 2 GHz, or even higher seen on the far and distant horizon?
