Keysight E5058A SSA-X Signal Source Analyzer

Overview

The Keysight E5058A SSA-X is a comprehensive signal source analyzer for precise measurements of RF and microwave signals. It evaluates phase noise and other relevant parameters for signals up to 54 GHz, offering both residual and absolute phase noise measurements with an ultra-low noise floor.

Key Features

• Frequency range from 1 MHz to 54 GHz for broad measurement coverage
• Ultra-low noise sensitivity and cross-correlation method for accurate absolute and residual phase noise measurements
• Built-in clean internal signal source with advanced path delay compensation technology
• Capability to measure absolute phase noise of devices above 54 GHz using external mixers and power dividers
• Two-port vector network analysis (VNA) option for additional device characterization
• Two clean DC voltage outputs and tuning voltage outputs for VCO evaluation
• Modern multi-window display for efficient measurement workflow
• Application software support including S96302B precision jitter analysis for clock and SerDes evaluation
