Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8656B #185504 for sale

The Hewlett PackardAGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8656B is an electronic test equipment made for testing general-purpose radio frequency (RF) and microwave devices. It is best suited for testing solid-state devices, and can also be used for testing frequency synthesizers, components, and simple oscillator circuits. It has a wide frequency range of up to 12 GHz, and is highly precise, capable of operating with a frequency accuracy of up to 10 ppm. The Hewlett PackardHP 8656B operates in the continuous wave (CW) mode, and has an output power of an adjustable 0 dBm to +17 dBm, making it well-suited for powering high-frequency devices. It also has precise microwave measurements, featuring phase-noise performance of -95 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset as well as voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) linearity within 1 dB across its full tuning range. It is equipped with a built-in step attenuator that allows for precise power adjustability, and a second output which is useful for driving matching networks. AGILENT 8656B also features enhanced dynamic range and digital gain control to ensure high measurement accuracy. The unit has a Trueform waveform generator for digital modulation, which uses ultra-fast techniques. This digital modulation feature is ideal for characterizing digital communication systems, and accurate reproducing of complex digital waveforms. The unit also has automatic gain control (AGC) and time-domain averaging to reduce the effects of noise. HEWLETT-PACKARD 8656B offers an adjustable pulse mode which allows the user to generate waveforms with very specific characteristics. This feature is useful for communications tests and test-point measurements. The unit also has a wide set of general-purpose connectors and calibrations to ensure accuracy and ease of use. Overall, the Hewlett PackardKEYSIGHT 8656B is a versatile, high-performance electronic test equipment. It is ideal for testing RF and microwave devices, from components to complete systems. It offers excellent accuracy and features, such as a wide frequency range, precise microwave measurements, Trueform waveform generator, and adjustable pulse mode. It also has a wide range of general-purpose connectors and calibrations for accuracy and ease of use.
