The Keysight (Agilent/HP) 83751B is a high-power synthesized sweeper that delivers outstanding microwave performance for general-purpose, swept test, and scalar applications. Operating across the 2.0 to 20.0 GHz range, the 83751B combines the accuracy and stability of a synthesized source with the fast sweep speed of a traditional analog sweeper.
