Product Overview

The Keysight E8257D (Agilent) PSG Analog Signal Generator delivers industry leading output power, level accuracy, and phase noise performance up to 67 GHz (operational to 70 GHz). The Agilent PSG analog signal generator's high output power and superior level accuracy often eliminates the need of an external amplifier for testing high power devices and minimizes test uncertainty to identify errors early in the design process. The world-class phase noise performance (typically -116 dBc/Hz @ 10 GHz carrier and 10 kHz offset) is ideal for local oscillator, low jitter clock substitution and adjacent channel selectivity tests. When testing advanced RF & microwave radar, communications, and control systems, the PSG analog signal generator delivers the performance you demand.

The E8267D Signal Generator is based on a modular microwave signal generator platform – optionally add AM, FM, ØM, and/or pulse Generate continuous wave (CW) signals for LO substitution or swept stimulus response analysis. Optionally add AM, FM, ØM and/or pulse modulation to accurately characterize RF and microwave components and devices. Many performance enhancement options are also available to configure the signal generator to meet your specific test requirements. Tailor the PSG for today's RF and microwave test applications and easily upgrade in the future as your needs change.

Features and specifcations of the Keysight E8257D (Agilent) include:

• Broad frequency range selection (options) - 250 kHz to 20, 31.8, 40, 50 or 67 GHz (operational to 70 GHz) with 0.001 Hz resolution
• High output power - typical performance of +23 dBm @ 20 GHz, + 17dBm @ 40 GHz, + 14 dBm @ 67 GHz with excellent level accuracy
• World class SSB phase noise - Agilent's ultra low phase noise option provides best performance yet (w/ option UNX)
• Flexible analog modulation formats - AM, FM, phase, and pulse
• Dual internal function generators - sine, square, triangular, ramp, and noise waveforms
• Easy frequency extension - up to 325 GHz with OML, Inc. AG Series mm-wave modules More information
• Narrow pulse modulation - typical 8 ns rise/fall times and 20 ns pulse width from 10 MHz to 67 GHz
• Multiple high rate sweep modes - digital step/list sweep and analog ramp sweep featuring code compatibility with the Keysight 8757D scalar network analyzer
• External control using PSA Series spectrum analyzer – scalar network analysis capability when combined with any PSA with external source control option.
• Backwards compatible - same form factor and 100% code compatible with previous generations of PSG signal generators
• 10BaseT LAN and GPIB
• SCPI and IVI-COM drivers
