The Agilent/Keysight 8671A is a microwave synthesizer generator delivering precise, stable signal generation across 2.0 to 6.2 GHz. Built for demanding test applications including LO injection, radar testing, satellite communications, and component characterization, it combines 1 kHz frequency resolution with exceptional spectral purity and low phase noise.
– Technical Specifications
