Keysight Technologies Expands Signal Generator Portfolio with New RF and Microwave Analog Signal Generators
Keysight Expands Portfolio with Compact, High-Performance RF and Microwave Signal Generators for Advanced Testing
Keysight Technologies, Inc. has introduced two new additions to its signal generator portfolio: an RF Analog Signal Generator and a Microwave Analog Signal Generator. These compact, portable solutions provide radio frequency (RF) engineers with advanced tools for characterizing components and devices at frequencies up to 26 GHz.
Signal generators are crucial in the development and testing of components for consumer electronics, wireless networks, radar systems, and more. They produce continuous waveforms and support analog modulation during both design and testing phases.
Key Features of the New Signal Generators
- Portability: Compact and lightweight for easy transportation and efficient use of lab space.
- Versatile Power Range: Accurately leveled output power from -120 dBm to +23 dBm, suitable for a range of RF and microwave applications.
- Low Phase Noise: The generators feature an oven-controlled crystal oscillator, providing a stabilized signal with phase noise as low as -130 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz, 20 kHz offset, ensuring accurate measurements.
- Fast Testing: Switching speeds as quick as 20 µs help accelerate testing, improving overall throughput.
- Extensive Modulation Support: The devices support various modulation types including amplitude, frequency, phase, pulse modulation, pulse train, and frequency chirps.
- User-Friendly Interface: An LCD touch screen combined with remote desktop PC software makes the generators easy to operate.
- Future-Ready: Frequencies and options can be upgraded via software licensing, ensuring long-term usability.
Joe Rickert, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s High-Frequency Measurements Center of Excellence, commented: “These new signal generators offer RF engineers versatile, high-performance tools with wide output power ranges, excellent signal purity, and fast switching speeds. Whether for wireless communications, digital design, or radar applications, these compact devices are ideal for a variety of testing needs.”
