RENT AGILENT / HP 83623B Signal Generator (call for availability)
The Agilent / HP 83623B high power synthesized sweeper Signal Generator is the standard of excellence for applications requiring the high performance and accuracy of a synthesized source and the speed and versatility of a sweep oscillator. It also delivers excellent harmonic performance with harmonics at least 25 dB below the carrier from 2.0 to 20 GHz. Synthesized broadband frequency coverage and precise 1 Hz frequency resolution (Opt 008) are generated by indirect synthesis, enabling the Agilent / HP 83623B Signal Generator to achieve low single-sideband phase noise performance.
Features and Specifications of the Agilent / HP 83623B Signal Generator include:
- +17 dBm to -110 dBm (Option 001) calibrated output power
- 50 dBc harmonics
- SSB phase noise
- Complete analog sweeper
- 1 Hz frequency resolution (Option 008)
- A & B Series have AM, FM and pulse modulation
- 1 kHz resolution, 1 Hz optional
- Low harmonics
- HP-IB
Options and configurations
