HP/AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT E8257D RF signal generator is a high-performance, multifunctional instrument designed for test and measurement applications. This versatile piece of test equipment is capable of producing CW and modulated waveforms within the 1 Hz to 20 GHz frequency range. It features packet phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesized technology, a variety of modulation formats, low phase noise, and an integrated frequency counter/calibrator for precise frequency measurements. HP E8257D features an advanced vacuum-fluorescent (VFD) display for intuitive operation, and a variety of digitally accessed front panel controls for easy signal generation. This signal generator also features built-in, remote-controllable LAN, GPIB, and RS-232 interfaces for seamless integration into automated testing systems. Its phase noise specification of -103 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, past 500 MHz, ensures high signal integrity, and its low harmonic distortion and low inter-modulation distortion characteristics make it suitable for a wide range of applications. AGILENT E 8257D offers a number of external analog modulations such as amplitude, frequency, and phase modulation, as well as a wide range of digital modulations including FSK, MSK, Pi/4 DQPSK, and 16-QAM. The instrument is also equipped with a selection of built-in various I/Q waveforms including sine, ramp, noise, pulse width modulated (PWM) tones, linear Sweep, and pulsed waveforms, while standard compliance testing of wireless local area networks (WLANs) is supported through its built-in compliant waveforms. Furthermore, HP E 8257D's AM/FM capability and tracking generator options enable users to perform comprehensive radio frequency (RF) testing. This instrument also supports multiple build-in signal types such as frequency stepped sweep, multi-tone generation, and complex multi-tone stimulation. It also offers an I/Q modulation capability for improved orthogonality and a wide output dynamic range of more than 60 dB. KEYSIGHT E 8257D also features a web-based remote user interface for easy remote control and monitoring. This interface includes an auto-selection option, allowing for improved accuracy while entering parameters that are out of range. This arrangement also enables the user to adjust parameters and configure the instrument settings even over a secure connection. E8257D has a comprehensive set of features required for testing in various applications, making it an ideal choice for radio communication, radar simulation, testing of digital communications systems, and measuring of wireless VoIP systems. It also offers performance enhancements, including built-in vector signal analysis, which is useful for the characterization of digital modulation schemes. In addition, this signal generator can be used for engineering development of RF systems.
