Keysight Agilent E8257C PSG Analog Signal Generator 250 KHz to 40 GHz with Low Phase Noise and High Output Power
The Keysight (Agilent) E8257C PSG analog signal generator delivers premium performance at an affordable price, featuring industry-leading output power, superior level accuracy, low phase noise, and precision analog modulation for accurate characterization of RF and microwave components and devices.
This instrument typically eliminates the need for external amplifiers when testing high-power devices and minimizes test uncertainty to identify errors early in the design process, reducing development time. The PSG sets new price-performance standards with advanced capabilities including narrow pulses for radar test applications, ramp sweep for continuous sweep measurements, and full automation compatibility with the Agilent 8757D scalar network analyzer.
Customize the PSG for RF and microwave test applications ranging from LO substitution and simple distortion testing to general-purpose troubleshooting and transceiver design verification. The modular architecture allows easy configuration to address specific test requirements, providing the performance needed today with future upgrade options.
