N5183B MXG X-Series microwave analog signal generator offers 9 kHz to 40 GHz frequency coverage and near PSG levels of phase noise performance with advantages in size and speed.
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.
