Agilent Technologies has expanded its range of signal generators with two new models that provide enhanced performance in phase noise, output power and frequency-switching speed. Complementing the company’s flagship E8267D vector PSG and E8257D analog PSG, the new N5183B MXG and N5173B EXG microwave analog signal generators provide alternatives in size, speed and cost.
The pure and precise N5183B MXG analog is an alternative to the high-performance PSG. It offers accuracy, efficiency and near-PSG performance in just two rack units. Its phase noise of less than -124 dBc/Hz (at 10 GHz, 10 kHz offset) and -75 dBc spurious enables module- and system-level testing up to 40 GHz. It also accelerates the calibration of complex systems with a switching speed of less than 600 μs.
The N5173B EXG analog is a cost-effective choice when system creators need to balance budget and performance. Offering a combination of output power (+20 dBm at 20 GHz) and low harmonics
(<-55 dBc), it is well-suited to the characterisation of broadband microwave components such as filters and amplifiers. With coverage to 40 GHz, it also supports continuous-wave (CW) blocking for receiver testing or basic local-oscillator up-conversion 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.
