The Keysight (formerly Agilent / Hewlett-Packard) 83752B is a high-power synthesized swept signal generator designed for component test, scalar network analysis, and general-purpose benchtop applications. It provides a frequency range of 10 MHz to 20 GHz, combining the superior accuracy and stability of a fully synthesized source with the speed of an analog sweeper. The 83752B features fully phase-locked analog, stepped, and CW sweep modes in both broadband and narrowband operation, making it particularly well-suited for characterizing narrowband devices and conducting mixer tests with its offset frequency sweep capability.
