PSG Series Analog Signal Generator, Opt.: 521= Frequency range 10MHz-20GHz, ultra high output power; UNT = AM, FM, Phase Modulation and LF Out UNW = Narrow Pulse Modulation and UNX = Ultra-low Phase Noise Performance

The Agilent (now Keysight) E8257D is a fully synthesized signal generator with high output power, low phase noise, and optional ramp sweep capability.

Modulation:

AM, FM, ØM, pulse, and scan

Typical 6 ns rise/fall times and 20 ns pulse width

Dual internal function generators: sine, square, triangular, ramp, and noise

Sweep:

Step, list, and ramp sweep (frequency and power)

Source control using PSA Series Option 215

Agilent 8757D scalar network analyzer code compatible

Automation and communication interface:

10BaseT LAN and GPIB

SCPI and IVI-COM drivers

Backwards compatible with all PSG signal generators

Options:

521 = Frequency range: 10 MHz - 20 GHz, ultra high output power:

Output power: > +30 dBm, +24 to +28 dBm at 250 MHz to 20 GHz; +18 dBm for 10 to 250 MHz; power clamp settable from +15 to +33 dBm

Level accuracy: 500 MHz to 20 GHz: < ±1.0 dB for -10 to > 20 dBm;

10 to 500 MHz: < ±1.2 dB for -10 to > 20 dBm with 5-dB step attenuator or harmonic filters

UNT = AM, FM, Phase Modulation, and LF Output:

AM features: Log mode > 40 dB; linear mode > 95 % maximum depth

FM features: 128 MHz maximum deviation

Simultaneously enable AM, FM, ØM, and pulse modulation

Two internal modulation sources

UNW = Narrow Pulse Modulation:

Variable pulse width: 20 ns min.

Variable repetition rate: up to 10 MHz

Rise and fall time: 10 ns

UNX = Ultra Low Phase Noise Performance:

Up to 10 dB improvement compared to standard phase noise performance

Low close to carrier phase noise

Switchable integrated dividers provide a 15 dB phase noise improvement for carrier frequencies below 250 MHz
