Keysight (Agilent) U9391F Comb Generator, 10MHz-50GHz

The Keysight (Agilent) U9391F Comb Generator generates harmonically related frequencies across 10 MHz to 50 GHz, serving as a precision phase reference standard for non-linear measurements and calibration in microwave and millimeter-wave systems. Built on InP MMIC technology, it delivers superior phase stability and excellent amplitude and phase flatness for demanding calibration tasks. The instrument calibrates network analyzers including PNA-X and PNA series for phase and delay measurements of frequency converters, eliminating the need for separate reference or calibration mixers.
