8662A/8663A Synthesized Signal Generators 1
Spectral purity is the key contribution of both the Agilent 8662A and
8663A, making them ideal for many radar, satellite communication,
and phase noise measurement applications. Typical absolute phase
noise performance of these generators at a 1 kHz offset is as low as
–135 dBc/Hz, depending on the band of operation.
The frequency range of the 8662A is 10 kHz to 1280 MHz. It
offers versatile AM/FM, using either internal 400 Hz and 1 kHz rates
or externally applied modulating signals which can be either ac- or
dc-coupled. It also has simultaneous modulation capability.
The 8663A and 8662A provide the U.S. Air Force MATE
(Modular Automatic Test Equipment) capability, via Option 700.
This option is an external translator that allows the signal generator
to be controlled by the MATE language CIIL (Control Interface
Intermediate Language).
