Agilent / Keysight 8662A High-Performance Signal Generator, 1.2 GHz

Agilent / Keysight 8662A,”This high-performance signal source is designed for generating extremely low-phase-noise signals up to 1.2 GHz. It is ideal for precision frequency synthesis applications including radar system development, receiver sensitivity testing, and phase noise characterization. The signal generator features high output purity and excellent frequency stability, achieved through an advanced PLL architecture and high-quality reference oscillator. Fine frequency resolution and fast switching speed enable thorough testing of narrowband systems and agile frequency-hopping designs. Output amplitude is adjustable with high accuracy, and built-in modulation capabilities include AM, FM, and pulse modulation for evaluating receiver performance under various signal conditions. The intuitive front panel layout and remote programming support via GPIB interface facilitate both manual and automated operation. Error monitoring and self-diagnostic routines enhance operational reliability and minimize downtime. The unit’s robust shielding and low harmonic distortion make it suitable for use in interference-sensitive environments. It is widely deployed in laboratories conducting high-stability signal testing and time-domain measurements. Built for long-term use, its construction is durable, and internal calibration routines maintain consistent output characteristics over time. This instrument is a vital part of precision signal generation tasks in RF, telecommunications, and aerospace applications.”
