Microwave Analog Signal Generator - Agilent N5183A MXG

Agilent announced the N5183A MXG Compact Microwave Analog Signal Generator, providing frequency coverage up to 20, 32 or 40 GHz. The features of  N5183A MXG include fast frequency switching speeds, easy self maintenance and high reliability. This mid-performance signal generator provides manufacturing and R&D engineers working on broadband components and systems with the performance required to make a wide range of broadband measurements. It is especially well suited for EW, radar, broadband wireless access applications and military communications.

N5183A MXG Compact Microwave Analog Signal Generator

The N5183A MXG is an economy class, continuous wave (CW) signal generator specifically designed to reduce cost of ownership and maximize uptime. Its less than or equal to 900-microsecond switching speed enables a dramatic increase in throughput. A simple design delivers easy self-maintenance that reduces downtime to one working day, making it possible for users to maintain or repair the instrument in-house. Not only does this capability maximize uptime, it also drives a lower cost of ownership.

With +18 dBm to 20 GHz output power in N5183A MXG, it is able to overcome losses and drive high-power devices. Additionally, it features a level accuracy, with optional step attenuator, of ±0.6 to 0.8 dB. Other options to the Agilent N5183A MXG include analog modulation and pulse modulation — all housed in a compact 2U (3 inch high) package that better uses rack space.

Andy Botka, Agilent, said :

With its available options and price/performance flexibility, the new Agilent N5183A MXG provides users with the capabilities they need to address these issues, while staying ahead of their competition…

Agilent’s N5183A MXG offers a viable replacement to legacy HP/Agilent signal generators. It is programming compatible with the 8340, 8360 and 8370 Series signal generators as well as the ESG, PSG and 8662A/8663A solutions.
