Keysight 83640A Synthesized Sweeper

The Keysight 83640A is a 10 MHz to 40 GHz range, Synthesized Sweeper. This model offers +/- 8 MHz max FM deviation, -70 dBc phase noise, and comes with a power sweep range of -20 dBm to maximum power. While operating at < 26.5 and > 6.5 GHz, the 83640A provides +10 dBm and +6.0 dBm maximum power respectively. This Synthesized Sweeper offers exceptional harmonics performance with at least 50 dB harmonics below the carrier from 2.0 GHz to 26.5 GHz and at least 40 dB harmonics below the carrier over 26.5 GHz. The Keysight 83640A supports the simulation of antenna scan patterns since it has scan modulation capabilities. For two-tone measurements, the user can achieve accurately swept and fixed frequency offset.

The characteristics of the 83640A make it an ideal choice to be utilized as a general-purpose source for applications, such as receiver testing, component testing, frequency conversion, etc. This model features a comprehensive display with separate areas for alarms, soft key labels, and operating parameters. The active entry typically shows the power and frequency information of the current instrument state.

To communicate to the user time base and RF input status and other similar information, a separate "message line" is dedicatedly used on the display. The presence of multiple inputting methods, dedicated hard keys, soft keys, a numeric keypad, and several other value-adding features make the Keysight 83640A an amazingly user-friendly instrument to work with. This model requires a single-phase power source of 115V or 230 V, 48 to 66 Hz and consumes 400 VA maximum power while operating.
