• Digital Sweep functions (list and step) with capability of calibrating every point at the test port using the user flatness correction
• Easy frequency extension to 110 GHz with Agilent's 83550 Series
• AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation
• Dual internal modulation generators with sine, square, triangle, positive/negative ramp, Gaussian Noise, Uniform Noise, Swept Sine, Dual Sine up to 1 MHz rates
• Internal pulse generator 14 MHz max PRF
• Fast pulse from 500 MHz to 3.2 GHz with Option HE6

The Agilent E8254A Performance Signal Generator series offers accurate characterization of products and eliminates the need of an external amplifier for testing high power devices. The E8250 series provides 14 dBm at 40 GHz (option 1EA), reducing overall equipment and test costs. The superior level accuracy of the Agilent E8254A (+/- 0.7 dB) reduces test uncertainties and improves production throughput. Standard products have phase noise performance of -85 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset and -110 dBc/Hz at 20 kHz offset and a 10 GHz carrier. The Agilent 8254A provides improved performance with option UNJ of -98 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset and -110 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset and a 10 GHz carrier. Because the new Agilent E8254A PSG guarantees accurate evaluation of devices, errors can be pinpointed early on in the design process thus resulting in a reduced development time.
