Highlights
NOTE: This product is going to be discontinued and will be replaced by N5186A MXG vector signal generator.
▶Take your designs to their limit with outstanding hardware performance, including unmatched phase
noise and spurious characteristics.
▶Drive power amplifiers and characterize nonlinear behavior with industry-leading adjacent channel power
ratio (ACPR) and output power.
▶Test wideband devices with factory-equalized 160 MHz RF bandwidth.
▶Reduce the time spent on signal creation with PathWave Signal Generation software, including LTE,
WLAN, and GNSS.
▶Lower your cost of ownership with 3-year cal cycles and comprehensive solutions for self-maintenance.
Definitions and Conditions
Specifications represent warranted performance of a calibrated instrument that hasbeen stored for a minimum of 2
hours within the operating temperature of 0 to 55 °C,unless otherwise stated, and after a 45 minute warm-up period.
The specificationsinclude measurement uncertainty. Data represented in this document arespecifications unless otherwise
noted.Typical (typ) describes additional product performance information that is not coveredby the product warranty.
It is performance beyond specifications that 80 percent of theunits exhibit with a 90 percent confidence level at room
temperature (approximately25 °C). Typical performance does not include measurement uncertainty.Nominal (nom) values
indicate the expected mean or average performance, or anattribute whose performance is by design, such as the 50 ohm
connector. This data isnot warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).Measured (meas) describes
an attribute measured during the design phase forpurposes of communicating expected performance, such as amplitude drift vs.
time.This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately25 °C)。
