E8257D Keysight PSG Analog Signal Generator, 100 kHz to 67 GHz

The Keysight E8257D is a fully synthetic signal generator with high output power, low phase noise, and powerful modulation capabilities. Unless otherwise noted, the instrument achieves these specifications over a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and after a 45-minute warm-up. Supplementary characteristics (labeled as typical, nominal, or measured) provide additional (non-guaranteed) information about the instrument at 25 °C that may be useful for product applications.

• Metrology-grade frequency and level accuracy and excellent distortion and spurious characteristics to meet very demanding test requirements

• Measurements over a wide frequency range: 13, 20, 31.8, 40, 50 and 67 GHz models available (expandable to 1.1 THz with a spread spectrum)

• Option to generate up to 1 W (+30 dBm) of output power, enabling testing of high-power devices and compensating for power loss in the test system

• Very low phase noise: -91 dBc/Hz (100 Hz frequency bias), -126 dBc/Hz (10 kHz frequency bias) (10 GHz) for Doppler radar, ADC and receiver blocking tests

• AM, FM, PM and pulse modulation can be added to the signal to characterize devices and circuits
