The Cost-Effective N5173B EXG

The N5173B EXG microwave analog signal generator is an economical option when you're looking to strike a balance between cost and performance. It delivers the crucial signals required for parametric testing of a variety of broadband components, including filters, amplifiers, and receivers. It allows for basic LO up conversion or CW blocking. It enables the characterization of broadband microwave components like filters and amplifiers, offering an optimal mix of output power (+20 dBm at 20 GHz), low harmonics (≤ –55 dBc), and full step attenuation. It can also be used as a highly stable system reference with a standard high-performance OCXO, with an aging rate of less than ± 5 parts per billion per day.
