The Agilent HP 83712B Synthesized CW Generator set a high standard for performance for an affordable price. The HP 83712B Signal Generator features fundamental oscillators and switched low-pass filters which deliver +14 dBm), while spectral purity is maintained even at high power levels (typical output power at frequencies below 1 GHz is +20 dBm).
Features of the HP 83712B Signal Generator include:
- Frequency range: .01 to 20 GHz
- High stability time base for frequency accuracy
- Low SSB phase noise for out-of-channel tests
- High power output for driving the LO port of mixers
- Low output power with option 1E1 for receiver sensitivity and SINAD measurements
