The Keysight (Agilent HP) 83650L is a high-performance synthesized swept CW generator belonging to the 8360L Series. Operating from 10 MHz to 50 GHz, it combines the pinpoint accuracy and frequency resolution of a synthesized signal source with the fast sweep speed and versatility of a traditional analog sweep oscillator. It is designed for demanding CW and swept-frequency applications.
