The E8257C is a 20 GHz RF Generator from Agilent. An RF generator is a tool engineers use to generate sinusoidal outputs while testing electronic equipment. The output will automatically have its frequency varied or swept between frequencies. A “sweep” is one complete cycle of a frequency variation. Engineers use RF signal generators as test equipment, mostly to measure responses of filters, amplifiers, and electrical components.
Additional Features:
Broad frequency ranges - 250 kHz to 20 GHz or 40 GHz with .001 Hz resolution
High output power - typical performance up to +16 dBm standard and up to +24 dBm optional at 20 GHz with excellent level accuracy
Flexible analog modulation formats - AM, FM, øM, and pulse
Dual internal modulation generators - sine, square, triangular, ramp, and noise waveforms
Easy frequency extension - up to 110 GHz with Agilent's 83550 Series mm-wave modules
Narrow pulse modulation - 10 ns rise/fall times and 20 ns pulse width from 10 MHz to 40 GHz
High rate analog ramp sweep - features code compatibility with the Agilent 8757D scalar network analyzer
Convenient sweep modes - analog ramp sweep, digital step sweep, and list sweep
The Agilent E8257C PSG analog signal generator delivers industry-leading output power, superior level accuracy, low phase noise, and precision analog modulation for accurate characterization of RF and microwave components and devices. It typically eliminates the need of an external amplifier for testing high power devices and minimizes test uncertainty to identify errors early in the design process and reduce development time.
The E8257C PSG sets a new price performance mark by providing advanced capabilities; including narrow pulses for radar test applications and ramp sweep for continuous sweep measurements and fully automated use with the Agilent 8757D scalar network analyzer.
