The Keysight (Agilent/HP) 83622A is a high-performance synthesized sweeper that combines the accuracy and resolution of a synthesized signal generator with the speed and versatility of a sweep oscillator. Operating from 2 GHz to 20 GHz, it is optimized for component testing, receiver testing, and frequency conversion applications.
