Description
Overview
The Keysight 8642A is a high-performance, programmable synthesized signal generator designed for demanding out-of-channel RF receiver measurements and stringent RF applications. It covers the frequency range from 100 kHz to 1057.5 MHz with ultra-low single-sideband phase noise and spurious performance, providing the stability and accuracy required for critical RF test systems.
Key Features
- Frequency range: 100 kHz to 1057.5 MHz
- Ultra-low SSB phase noise: < -134 dBc/Hz at 20 kHz offsets at 1 GHz
- Nonharmonic spurious: -100 dBc for automated spurious rejection testing
- Absolute output level accuracy: ±1 dB down to -127 dBm
- High output power: up to +20 dBm reduces need for external amplifiers
- Modulation types: AM, FM, phase, and pulse
- Modulation rates up to 100 kHz with low-distortion internal oscillator
- Independent audio source capability with variable rates and levels
Applications
- RF receiver measurements and characterization
- Spurious rejection testing
- Demanding RF measurement applications
- Audio signal generation
