N5173B Agilent Keysight HP RF Generator

Features

• Balance budget & performance to address parametric testing of microwave components & receivers
• Perform LO up conversion for microwave backhaul links or CW blocking for receiver testing
• Maximize test throughput with 600-µs frequency switching
• Characterize microwave filters & amplifiers with the best combination of output power, low harmonics & full step attenuation
• Use as a high-stability system reference: the standard high-performance OCXO has an aging rate of 5x10-10 parts/day
