Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8657A #9121740 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8657A is an electronic test equipment designed for several testing applications. It is a precision signal generator that covers a frequency range of 10 kHz to 13.2 GHz in both amplitude modulation and frequency modulation. The unit is a solid-state generator that is constructed with updated technology allowing highly reliable and consistent performance. HP 8657A is able to achieve reliable operation due to two main components, the microwave source and the test control unit. The microwave source is contained within a module that enables the frequency range to be set, and then further refined using the synthesizer loop. The test control unit is contained within the main unit which contains buttons to control the power output of the generator, the power meter, and the speed of the synthesizer loop. AGILENT 8657A is equipped with several measurement capabilities that can be used to perform precision signal analyses. These include system reflections, loss measurement, noise figure, transient and frequency response. The unit has a built-in AM-PM conversion feature that allows the user to examine the current signal and easily make frequency and amplitude adjustments. Additionally, 8657A comes with a power meter enabling the user to make stability and accuracy readings. KEYSIGHT 8657A also offers a number of features to enhance the performance of the signal generator. There is a built-in parallel input/output connector which allows two HEWLETT-PACKARD 8657A units to be connected to each other. This allows the user to double the maximum output power. Other features include an internal power meter, programmable GPIB interface, and a digital real-time processor which makes the unit suitable for many precision testing applications. AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8657A is a longlasting, reliable signal generator with a wide range of features and a high level of test control. It is perfect for laboratory and engineering tasks where precision signal testing is paramount and the unit has the capability to accurately measure AM-PM conversions, noise figure, and system reflections. HP 8657A can be controlled with a GPIB interface and an internal power meter making it the ideal option for both general and specialized testing applications.
