E8251A

Keysight E8251A Signal Generator

The Keysight E8251A Signal Generator offers an adaptable automation environment, enabling the user to diminish test time and decrease the cost of test.  This model can control the signal generation utilizing SCPI commands. This model can also gain the speed and network favorable position of the VXI Plug and Play Driver. The Keysight E8251A also allows the user to code execution by means of an outer PC through LAN, GPIB, or RS-232, develop code languages such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, Agilent-VEE, or LabView™ and offers a power correction feature that allows automated client-flatness corrections to guarantee calibration of energy and frequency anytime in the user’s list or step sweep.

The E8251A Signal Generator has a simple to utilize interface. The seven by three and a half inch display screen enables the user to see a maximum of 22 parameters at the same time. The data the user needs to know is effectively found with extensive help files and online help.

When utilizing the Signal Generator with a range analyzer that does not have preselection ability, the impacts of reverse power can cause issues with the Signal Generator's RF output. Some range analyzers have as much as +5 dBm LO feedthrough at their RF input port at a few frequencies. If the frequency contrast between the LO feedthrough and the RF bearer is not exactly the ALC data transfer capacity (ordinarily 10 kHz CW and 100 kHz for adjusted signs), the LO's invert power can cause adequacy balance of the Signal Generator's RF output. The rate of the undesired AM approaches the distinction in frequency between the range analyzer's LO feedthrough and the RF carrier of the Signal Generator.
