I am currently working on a project which I need to generate analog signals from 500khz up to 5Mhz.

With what level of dynamic range? (That determines the number of bits, the analog alias filtering requirements, and clock frequency)

the signal which we are generating will be a complex signal and therefore we need a DAC to do that.

If you mean "complex" in the sense of exp(j*2*pi*f*t) = cos(2*pi*f*t) + j*sin(2*pi*f*t), then you need two DACs :)

However, as this project is in research stage, we need something off the shelf and preferably computer based which generates signals. We can feed the expected signal data in a file or something to software and the device can generate our frequency. I was wondering if you let me know any device which can do that. I googled it and tried various vendors and still no luck.

Does your signal include DC? (This will help identify a suitable board).
