The N5171B EXG X-Series from Keysight Technologies are RF Analog Signal Generators with a frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz. They provide a sine, square, triangle and positive/negative ramp waveform with an SSB phase noise of -133 dBc/Hz (at 20 kHz offset) and a frequency resolution of 0.001 Hz. These signal generators can perform basic parametric testing of components and functional verification of receivers with industry-leading output power. They thoroughly verify the receiver performance by simulating complex analog modulation scenarios with multi-function generator capability. The signal generators are designed to minimize downtime and expenses with self-maintenance solutions and low-cost repairs.
Multiple N5171B EXG X-Series signal generators can be connected for a combined height of 2U, thereby shrinking the test stand for compact testing. They also ensure fast switching speed while maximizing throughput and can compensate for various test system losses. These signal generators can be controlled using GPIB IEEE-488.2, LAN 1000BaseT, USB, and SCPI interfaces. They require an AC supply of 100/120/220/240 V and consume less than 160 W of power. These generators are available in rack-mount enclosures that measure 88 x 426 x 489 mm with N-type connectors.
