E8663B

Keysight Technologies (Agilent HP)Signal

The Keysight E8663B is a high-performance analog signal generator designed for the most demanding applications, including radar system development, satellite communications evaluation, and low-noise local oscillator replacement. Operating across a frequency range of 100 kHz to 3.2 or 9 GHz, it is renowned for delivering industry-leading close-to-carrier phase noise performance, high output power, and excellent level accuracy. Backwards compatible with legacy HP 8662A and 8663A models, it incorporates versatile AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation capabilities to satisfy precise analog test requirements.
