The Agilent 8340B is a high-performance RF signal generator delivering stable, accurate signal generation from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. Built for demanding R&D and production environments, it combines wide frequency coverage with exceptional signal purity—achieving phase noise better than -100 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from a 1 GHz carrier. The instrument generates output power from -120 dBm to +13 dBm with ±1.0 dB accuracy across its operating range.
