N5182B RF Vector Signal Generator

Configurations Include

• (012) LO in/out for phase coherency
• (403) hardware option
• (430)
• (503) Frequency range, 9 kHz to 3 GHz
• (656) ARB baseband generator (80 MHz RF bandwidth, 32 MSa)
• (660) Upgrade baseband generator with real-time capability
• (UN7)
• (UNT) AM, FM, phase modulation
• (UNV) Enhanced dynamic range
• (UNW) Narrow pulse modulation
• (099) Expanded license key upgradability
  Enables upgrades via a license key for Options 1EA, 1EQ, UNV, and UNZ. Without Option 099, upgrades for these options require purchase and installation of hardware in a field retrofit kit.

The Keysight N5182B analog and vector MXG and EXG signal generators deliver unmatched performance in five key categories: phase noise and spectral purity, bandwidth, EVM, ACPR, and output power.

Perform advanced receiver testing compatible with the latest standards using the MXG or EXG and Signal Studio software: define signal parameters, transfer them to the instrument, and use closed-loop or interactive control during signal generation.

• Take your designs to their limit with outstanding hardware performance, including unmatched phase noise and spurious characteristics.
• Drive power amplifiers and characterize nonlinear behavior with industry-leading adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) and output power.
• Test wideband devices with factory-equalized 160 MHz RF bandwidth.
• Reduce the time spent on signal creation with PathWave Signal Generation software, including LTE, WLAN, and GNSS.
• Lower your cost of ownership with 3-year cal cycles and comprehensive solutions for self-maintenance.
