Microwave signal generators balance price/performance
Agilent Technologies has expanded its range of signal generators with two new models the N5183B MXG and N5173B EXG that complement Agilent’s flagship E8267D vector PSG and E8257D analogue PSG. The N5183B MXG analogue is an alternative to the high-performance PSG. It offers accuracy, efficiency and near-PSG performance in just two rack units
It features phase noise of less than -124dBc/Hz (at 10GHz, 10kHz offset) and -75dBc spurious enables module- and system-level testing up to 40GHz. It also accelerates the calibration of complex systems with best-in-class switching speed of less than 600µs.
The N5173B EXG analogue is a cost-effective choice when system creators need to balance budget and performance. Offering a combination of output power (+20dBm at 20GHz) and low harmonics (<-55 dBc), the EXG is well-suited to the characterisation of broadband microwave components such as filters and amplifiers. With low-cost coverage to 40GHz, it also supports continuous-wave (CW) blocking for receiver testing or basic local-oscillator upconversion for point-to-point microwave backhaul links.
To reduce cost of ownership, the MXG and EXG signal generators are designed for reliability and fast, easy calibration, service and repair. The recommended three-year calibration cycle and self-maintenance strategy help reduce support costs and increase instrument uptime.
