Product Description:
The E8257D PSG analog signal generator delivers industry-leading output power, level accuracy and phase noise performance up to 67 GHz (operating up to 70 GHZ). The E8257D PSG's high output power and superior level accuracy typically require no external amplifier to test high-power devices and minimize test uncertainty to identify errors early in the design process. World-class phase noise performance is ideal for local oscillators, low-jitter clock alternatives, and adjacent-channel selective testing. PSG delivers the performance you need when testing advanced RF and microwave radar, communications and control systems.
Customize PSG to meet your needs Customize PSG for today's RF and microwave test applications while easily upgrading as your needs change in the future. Choose from a variety of optional enhancements to configure the E8257D PSG for applications ranging from LO substitution and distortion testing to radar testing and jamming signal generation.
