Most Advanced Microwave Signal Generator

Agilent's E8267D PSG vector signal generator is the industry's first integrated microwave vector signal generator with I/Q modulation up to 44 GHz, +23 dBm typical output power up to 20 GHz and -120 dBc/Hz phase noise at a 10 kHz offset for a 10 GHz signal. In addition to the high output power and outstanding phase noise you would expect from a high performance microwave source, it features an advanced wideband internal baseband generator capable of flexible arbitrary waveform playback or sophisticated real-time signal generation. The E8267D PSG also has a built-in wideband I/Q modulator that delivers up to 2 GHz RF modulation bandwidth and is a perfect complement to Agilent's N6030A stand-alone wideband arbitrary waveform generator for I/Q waveform simulations up to 1 GHz RF bandwidth. This groundbreaking integrated vector functionality, only available in the E8267D PSG, drastically simplifies the generation of complex modulated signals for design and manufacturing test applications in aerospace, defense, satellite communications, and broadband wireless.
