Product Overview

N5181B MXG X-Series RF analog high performance signal generators are fine-tuned to be your “golden transmitter” in R&D with 9 kHz to 6 GHz frequency coverage.

Optimized for manufacturing cellular communications and wireless connectivity components. With scalable RF and baseband performance, the MXG is easily configured to meet your specific test needs. Comes in 3 GHz and 6 GHz frequencies.

The MXG is the pure and precise alternative to the analog PSG, with advantages in size and speed. It delivers the performance you need--spectral purity, output power, switching speed and more--to perform module- and system-level testing.

Generate the signals you need with outstanding hardware performance. Test radar receiver sensitivity with best-in-class phase noise and spurious performance. Shrink your test stand with two rack-unit height. Maximize throughput with fast switching speed. Compensate for system loss, stimulate remote DUTs, and drive high-power amplifiers while retaining signal integrity . Simulate multi-channel composite analog modulation with integrated multifunction generation. Create variable RADAR PRI and pulse width with integrated pulse train generator.
