Keysight N5171B/503 RF Analog Signal Generator

Overview

The Keysight N5171B/503 EXG X-Series is a cost-effective RF analog signal generator optimized for manufacturing test applications. Designed for parametric testing of components and receiver calibration, the N5171B/503 covers 9 kHz to 3 GHz with excellent phase noise performance of -146 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz (20 kHz offset) and output power of +24 dBm. Fast frequency switching at 900 µs and a compact form factor maximize test throughput and minimize test stand footprint.
