Summary of Key Specifications

Generate Trusted Performance

When you describe the demands on your newest programs, the urgency is clear—that’s what keeps Keysight Technologies, Inc. innovating in microwave signal generators. Our foundation is the PSG, with its metrology-grade performance and versatile capabilities. Complementing the PSG, the MXG and EXG offer alternatives in size, speed, and cost.

As you pursue mission success, Keysight can help you generate trusted performance. Our microwave signal generators are an essential part of today’s most advanced measurement systems. They reliably provide the signal purity, output power, and modulation you need to keep pushing the envelope.

  • Drive advanced designs forward with the high output power and extremely low phase noise of the E8267D and E8257D PSG
  • Get the right mix of speed, performance, and size with the pure and precise N5183B MXG
  • Balance performance needs and budget realities with the cost-effective N5173B EXG
  • Lower your cost-of-ownership with signal generators that deliver proven reliability and support for cost-effective calibration, service, and repair

Migrate from legacy signal generators

Carefully planned instrument migration and modernization can maximize your testsystem efficiency, performance, and readiness, while minimizing risk and potential disruptions, so you can keep your programs running smoothly. Keysight microwave signal generators are designed as evolutionary replacements to their in-class predecessors. Take advantage of code compatibility and increased performance, flexibility, speed, and compact size by replacing legacy equipment. www.keysight.com/find/Microwave_SigGen_Migration

Stay Ahead with Metrology-Grade Signal Generation

The PSG is the industry’s most trusted microwave signal generator, with thousands of units deployed in hundreds of programs around the world. With metrology-grade performance and evolving capabilities, it continues to enable new designs that stay ahead of emerging threats.

PSG signal generators offer a versatile platform with room to grow—serving your test needs now and in the future. The highly flexible option structure enables you to configure the PSG to accommodate your specific test applications as well as your budget requirements. Tailor the performance of the PSG, such as frequency range, output power, phase noise, types of modulation, and more. Many options can be retrofitted yourself or at a Keysight Service Center, so you can quickly and easily adapt to new test programs.

Address your toughest requirements with PSG analog

The E8257D PSG analog signal generator combines metrology-grade frequency and level accuracy with excellent distortion and spurious characteristics to test your most advanced devices with the highest quality signals. Meet test system needs across a wide frequency range with 20, 31.8, 40, 50, and 67 GHz models available and the ability to add frequency extender modules to cover up to 1.1 THz.

Apply metrology-grade phase noise to your most demanding tests

Boasting the widest frequency range and industry-leading spectral purity, the PSG analog is ideal for local oscillator (LO) substitution and low jitter clock replacement. Address the demanding needs of Doppler radar and receiver-blocking tests with extremely low phase noise: -91 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz offset and -126 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (10 GHz) to maximize receiver sensitivity. Combine this with low spurious performance to minimize distortion translated to mixer products for improved signal quality and increased test accuracy. In addition, the PSG provides superior system clock performance with integrated frequency dividers that deliver extremely low jitter for analog to digital converters (ADC) and digital to analog converters (DAC) operating from MHz to GHz clock ranges.

Benefit from unrivaled component analysis

For component stimulus/response applications, PSG signal generators offer high output power, outstanding level accuracy, low harmonics and spurious distortion, and analog and digital sweep of frequency and power. Analog (AM, FM, and ΦM) and pulse modulators can also be applied during sweep operation. Using the PSG in combination with a spectrum analyzer for swept scalar analysis, you will realize the benefits of economy, convenience, and extended dynamic range in one measurement system.
