Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT E8257D #9274897 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT E8257D is a state-of-the-art digital, coherent, multifunctional signal generator. It is designed to meet a wide range of RF needs from basic mixing to advanced applications like digital modulation and advanced waveform synthesis. It is able to generate FM CW and Digital Modulation waveforms with extremely high spectral purity. HP E8257D signal generator is capable of producing up to 2.4 GHz of power with a typical spectral purity of -80 dBc/Hz, while the power stability is at less than 0.1 dB/min. As such, it is suitable for demanding communication applications. It is also capable of generating complex modulations like QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM, and 128-QAM. It has a built-in AWG that can produce waveform tones, sweeps, and linear ramp signals for testing purposes. AGILENT E 8257D has up to four built-in harmonic mixers that allow for doubling and tripling the output frequencies. It also includes an internal local oscillator, a first-local-oscillator (FLO) reference, and an auxiliary reference input. Furthermore, it includes additional features such as a 1MHz resolution frequency counter, programmable markers, a built-in DDS, and a built-in pulse-modulation generator. HEWLETT-PACKARD E8257D has a wide variety of interfaces. It has a standard USB 2.0-compliant port, a GPIB port, an Ethernet port, and a composite video port. Additionally, it has a control software suite that provides an intuitive graphical interface for controlling all the features of the signal generator. It also supports remote operation over RS-232 and GPIB serial interfaces. E8257D offers a wide range of features for signal generation and testing. Its high spectral purity, multi-octave performance, and broadband capabilities make it a go-to solution for demanding communication and entertainment applications. The integrated FLO and auxiliary reference input as well as the multiple interfaces make it a comprehensive test solution for complex engineering challenges. However, the cost might make it prohibitive for budget-conscious engineers.
