Agilent / HP / Keysight E8247C
E8247C PSG CW Signal Generator, up to 40 GHz
Description
Providing premium performance at an affordable price, the E8247C PSG CW signal generator delivers industry-leading output power, superior level accuracy, and low phase noise for local oscillator and low jitter clock substitution and interference signal generation.
It typically eliminates the need of an external amplifier for testing high power devices and minimizes test uncertainty to identify errors early in the design process and reduce development time.
The PSG features advanced capability, including ramp sweep for continuous sweep measurements and fully automated use with the Agilent 8757D scalar network analyzer.
Customize the PSG for RF and microwave test applications ranging from LO substitution and clock replacement to general-purpose troubleshooting and interference signal generation.
A variety of optional performance enhancements and accessories are available.
Its modular architecture makes it easy to configure the PSG to address your specific test application, providing the level of performance you need today and the option to upgrade in the future.
