Keysight / Agilent E8257D 520 PSG CW Signal Generator, 250 kHz to 20 GHz

The E8257D PSG analog signal generator combines metrology-grade frequency and level accuracy with excellent distortion and spurious characteristics to test your most advanced devices with the highest quality signals. Meet test system needs across a wide frequency range with up to 20 GHz. This model allows you the ability to add frequency extender modules to cover up to 1.1 THz.

Boasting the widest frequency range and industry-leading spectral purity, the PSG analog is ideal for local oscillator (LO) substitution and low-jitter clock replacement. Address the demanding needs of Doppler radar and receiver-blocking tests with extremely low phase noise: -91 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz offset and -126 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (10 GHz) to maximize receiver sensitivity. Combine this with low spurious performance to minimize distortion in mixer products, improving signal quality and increasing test accuracy. In addition, the PSG provides superior system clock performance with integrated frequency dividers that deliver extremely low jitter for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) operating across MHz to GHz clock ranges.

For component stimulus/response applications, PSG signal generators offer high output power, outstanding level accuracy, low harmonics and spurious distortion, and analog and digital sweep of frequency and power. Analog (AM, FM, and ΦM) and pulse modulators can also be applied during sweep operation. Using the PSG in combination with a spectrum analyzer for swept scalar analysis, you will realize the benefits of economy, convenience, and extended dynamic range in one measurement system.
