Keysight N5172B RF Vector Signal Generator
The Keysight N5172B Vector Signal Generator is a multi-faceted device meant to be used in production testing environments to support an extended range covering frequencies between 9 kHz and 6 GHz. This performance-grade signal generator has been specially developed to support increased speed in throughput to achieve greater uptime during operation, making it ideal to be used in various applications such as testing in components, verification of functionality in receivers, and in situ real-time simulation through Signal Studio software. Designed for optimal performance in a wide range of resting environments, the output power featured by the device measures up to +27 dBm and it features a vector bandwidth of 120 MHz.
Concurrent power, waveform types, and frequency switching capabilities significantly enhance the testing throughput in laboratory environments, where this is paramount. The N5172B offers maximal signal integrity in even the most demanding application environments with a phase noise performance with an evaluation value of -122 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz with an offset of 20 kHz. The Vector Signal Generator also features advanced modulation capabilities, including W-CDMA with an Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) value of 73 dBc.
Scalability is an important characteristic of the N5172B in that customers can purchase required performance and capabilities to address present requirements while providing provision to support upgrades in accordance with changing requirements in the future. Waveform licenses in both 5-pack and 50-pack options are available in the N5172B to support customers in accommodating unique testing requirements. Its compactness in occupying just 2U is especially ideal in limited environments, while further capabilities in an in-built multi-function generator and an interface to power through USB support overall functionality.
The N5172B provides an extensive range of connection options such as GPIB, LAN, and USB interface options, to simplify integration in automated test environments. This device is built to withstand harsh environments and is packed with advanced capabilities to form an ideal choice in areas demanding accurate and efficient signal generation in various domains, including defense systems, aerospace, and telecommunications. Performance meeting functionality in user-friendly design in N5172B sets this device as an ideal tool for production-line engineers and R&D technicians.
