The Agilent/Keysight 83620A is a high-performance synthesized sweeper operating from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. It combines the precise frequency resolution and low phase noise of a synthesized source with the speed and versatility of a swept oscillator. With a maximum leveled power of +13 dBm, excellent harmonic suppression, and standard step, list, and ramp sweep modes, it is a versatile general-purpose source for component testing, receiver characterization, and frequency conversion applications.
