N5166B RF Vector Signal Generator, X-Series Signal Generator

What are you looking for?

Key Features

  • Produce varieties of signals from CW to analog and vector, with frequency coverage from 9 kHz to 3 or 6 GHz
  • Produce standard-compliant wireless signals by playing back PathWave Signal Generation (Signal Studio) waveforms
  • Internal baseband generator up to 120 MHz RF bandwidth; External I/Q inputs up to 200 MHz RF bandwidth
  • SCPI command compatible with all other X-Series signal generators
  • Fit for general purpose receiver sensitivity test, system-level component characterizations, and consumer electronics design and manufacturing test


Qualify

  • Need analog modulation (AM/FM, phase modulation)? Sell N5166B-UNT.
  • Need narrow pulse modulation? Sell N5166B-UNW.
  • Need internal 60 MHz baseband generator? Sell N5166B-653.
  • Need deeper memory for the internal baseband generator? Sell N5166B-022.
  • Need faster file transferring rate to baseband generator? Sell N5166B-009.
