EXG X-Series Microwave Analog Signal Generator. Options: 520 = Frequency Range 9kHz-20GHz; 1EA = High Output Power. Unit sold with calibration certificate dated with 12 months warranty.

N5173B is an EXG microwave analog signal generator. It is the cost-effective choice when you need to balance budget and performance. It provides the essential signals that address parametric testing of broadband filters, amplifiers, receivers, and more. Perform basic LO upconversion or CW blocking with low-cost coverage to 13, 20, 31.8, or 40 GHz. Characterize broadband microwave components such as filters and amplifiers with the best combination of output power (+20 dBm at 20 GHz), low harmonics (≤ –55 dBc), and full step attenuation. Use as a high-stability system reference with standard high-performance OCXO at an aging rate of less than ± 5 parts per billion per day.

Address parametric testing of microwave components and receivers

Perform LO up conversion for microwave backhaul links or CW blocking for receiver testing
