Agilent HP 8642B Synthesized Signal Generator, 100 kHz to 2100 MHz
The Agilent 8642B synthesized signal generator is a high-performance,
programmable signal generator for demanding out-of-channel RF receiver
measurements and other stringent RF applications. It covers the
frequency range from 100 kHz to 2115 MHz. This signal generator
provides low SSB phase noise and spurious, high output level and
level accuracy, and a full range of modulation types. The low-distortion
internal modulation oscillator can be used to modulate the Agilent
8642B up to 100 kHz rates. This internal oscillator can also be
used as an independent audio source with variable rates and levels.
Features:
- < -134 dBc/Hz SSB phase noise at 20 kHz offsets at 1 GHz.
- -100 dBc nonharmonic spurious allows spurious rejection tests
to be fully automated with confidence
- ±1 dB absolute output level accuracy down to -127 dBm
- Up to +20 dBm output level reduces the need for external amplifiers
- AM, FM, phase and pulse modulation
- Up to 100 kHz modulation rates with low-distortion internal
oscillator
- On-site repair and calibration
Specifications:
Range: 100 kHz to 2115 MHz Bands: The
full range is covered in one continuous span. However, many specifications
are dependent on carrier frequency. To simplify such specifications,
the carrier frequency ranges are divided into bands as shown below:
