Agilent / HP / Keysight 83525A

The Agilent 83525A covers the frequency range of 10 MHz to 8.4 GHz with excellent frequency stability, accuracy, and output power.

The Agilent 83525A maintains excellent frequency parameters and accuracies within ± 12 MHz.

The Agilent 83525A plug-in, with its extremely broad frequency range, does not sacrifice power which provides at least +13 dBm of output power while being internally leveled to a flatness of ± 1 dB.

The Agilent 83525B plug-in provides the same outstanding specifications as the Agilent 83525A plus 45 dBc harmonics for maximum dynamic range in RF component and system measurements.

Crystal Marker Capability is a powerful feature offered by the Agilent / HP 83525A, which provides harmonic markers at 10 or 50 MHz intervals over the full range of the Agilent 83522A and below 2 GHz with the Agilent 83525A/B. In addition, 1 MHz harmonic markers are available below 1 GHz.

The Agilent 83522A and the Agilent 83525A/B plug-ins have a calibrated output power range of typically 15 dB that may be extended to > 80 dB with Option 002 (70 dB attenuator). The output power level accuracy is within 1 dB on the Agilent 83522A and within 1.5 dB on the Agilent 83525A/B.

The power sweep function sweeps a 15 dB power range for characterizing level sensitive devices like amplifiers and transistors. The slope mode is supplied to provide compensation for cable or test set losses.

The Agilent 83522A and the Agilent 83525A/B are completely programmable plug-ins. This infers that the power level, power mode (power sweep, slope, etc.), crystal markers and other plug-in functions may be externally controlled via the HP-IB.

Increased dynamic range scalar measurements can be made using the 83525A with the Agilent 8756A or the Agilent 8757A Scalar Network Analyzer.

In addition, the Agilent 83525A plug-in is directly compatible with the Agilent 8510 and the Agilent 8410C network analyzers, for vector and scalar measurements, and with the Agilent 8970 Noise Figure Meter for noise level analysis.
