N5182B Keysight MXG X-Series RF Vector Signal Generator

The Keysight N5182B analog and vector MXG/EXG signal generator delivers superior performance in five key categories: phase noise and spectral purity, bandwidth, EVM, ACPR, and output power. 

Using the MXG or EXG and Signal Studio software, advanced receiver testing can be performed according to the latest standards: defining signal parameters and transferring them to the instrument for closed-loop or interactive control during signal generation.

• Outstanding hardware performance, including excellent phase noise and spurious characteristics, can drive your design to the limits of performance.

• Excellent adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) and output power can drive the power amplifier and characterize the nonlinear characteristics of the power amplifier.

• Factory-equalized 160 MHz RF bandwidth allows for more accurate testing of broadband devices.

• Accelerated generation of signals such as LTE, WLAN and GNSS with PathWave signal generation software

• A 3-year calibration cycle and comprehensive self-maintenance solution ensure a lower cost of ownership for you.
