Precision and versatility

  The Agilent Technologies 8360 family consists of the general purpose B-model series and the application-focused L-model series. They combine the excellent frequency resolution, level control, signal purity, and modulation capabilities you expect of a high-performance synthesized signal generator with the speed and convenience of a sweep oscillator. They are ideal for the demanding requirements of signal simulation, local oscillator, and stimulus/response component or subsystem test applications. The 8360 family offer a choice of models to meet a variety of application requirements. Ultra-broadband frequency coverage from 10 MHz to 50 GHz is available in coax using a 2.4 mm precision connector. High-power models with up to +20 dBm are also available, and can be used to directly drive the 83550 series mm-wave source modules for superior performance to 110 GHz in waveguide. The 8360 can also be customized with 1 Hz frequency resolution, fast pulse, a synthesized internal modulation generator, and a blank front panel for automated test applications.

Flexible and upgradable for growth

  The 8360 is designed to facilitate future growth. The hardkey and softkey front-panel design offers easily accessible functions that are simple to use. Softkey flexibility and modular architecture provide upgrade capability, while retaining system compatibility. The family delivers the cost-effective and state-of-the-art perform-ance you need today, while protecting your investment in the future.

Serviceability

  The 8360 models only need to be calibrated once every two years. Should a problem arise, over 280 internal self-tests quickly isolate more than 95% of instrument failures to the assembly level. Intermittent problems may be efficiently located by continually monitor-ing the tests and logging the results to the internal display or an external printer. To minimize the need for external equipment, adjustments have been automated with DACs and calibration constants where possible. Internal service power meter and voltmeter functions are available for performing most of the few remaining manual adjustments, as well as enabling more specific and thorough troubleshooting. The RF deck can also be raised as a whole unit for service, or reversed for rear RF output without output power degradation.

Fundamental oscillators and switched low-pass filters deliver <-55 dBc harmonics, eliminate subharmonics and suppress spurious to <-60 dBc. This signal source provides plenty of output power (typically >+14 dBm), while spectral purity is maintained even at high power levels (typical output power at frequencies below 1 GHz is +20 dBm).

Agilent 8657A .1-1040 Mhz Signal Generator

Specifications

• Wide frequency coverage, 100 kHz to 1040 MHz
  
• Electronic attenuator
  
• < 35 ms frequency switching speed
  
• AM and FM capabilities
  
• ±1 dB level accuracy (typically ±0.5 dB)
  
• Amplitude offset and phase adjustment capabilities
  
• 0.3 GMSK Modulation Option

The low residual FM and excellent phase noise performance of the 8657A signal generators make them ideal for many in-channel and even out-of-channel receiver tests.  The Agilent 8657A is a versatile signal generator offering a variety of features, such as simultaneous and mixed modulation combinations of AM and FM, as well as a carrier phase adjust capability that allows you to characterize phase-sensitive devices. In addition, the Agilent 8657A offers a wide output range, +13 to -143.5 dBm, with superior level accuracy of ±1.0 dB. Built for reliability, the Agilent 8657A uses an all-electronic attenuator, which is backed with a five-year warranty to ensure that you will make consistent, repeatable measurements every time.

Low residual FM ensures wide hum and noise test margins

Hum and noise testing requires a signal generator to have low residual FM to ensure no measurement error. The residual FM of the 8657A provides the test margins you need for the most demanding hum and noise tests. Output level range and accuracy for sensitivity testing With a dynamic range from +13 to ?143.5 dBm, the 8657A allow sensitivity measurements to be made on even the most sensitive receivers. The 8657A couple this with a level accuracy of ±1 dB (typically 0.5 dB) to ?127 dBm across the full temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees C, to give you accurate and repeatable measurements every time.

Low RF leakage eliminates measurement interference

Sensitivity measurements can often be masked by RF leakage (radiated emissions). With the 8657A, RF leakage is reduced to a level that assures virtually no measurement interference.

DCFM faithfully reproduces digital signals

For radios with digital squelching, the 8657A have extremely stable dc-coupled FM (dcFM). The dc coupling of low-rate tones or digital data eliminates droop, and the exceptional stability and center-frequency accuracy when in dcFM mode eliminates the need to retune the signal generator after dcFM is selected.

Agilent 8904A DC-600 KHz Multifunction Synthesizer

The Agilent 8904A multifunction synthesizer generates accurate sinewaves from 0 Hz to 600 kHz with 0.1 Hz resolution. The 8904A also has five other standard functions: square, triangle, ramp, from 0 Hz to 50 kHz plus dc, and Gaussian white noise. All waveform values in the 8904A are digitally calculated in real time by Agilent Technologies' Digital Waveform Synthesis IC yielding 12-bit digital accuracy. Full GPIB programmability is also included standard on the 8904A.

Features

• Sine to 600 kHz, square, ramp, triangle to 50 kHz
• 12 bit direct digital synthesis
• Tone, DTMF, digital, Hop Ram sequence modes
• One or two outputs
• One to four internal channels
• AM, FM, Phi-M, DSBSC, and pulse modulation
• Unit to unit phase synchronization

  The Agilent Technologies 8904A Multifunction Synthesizer uses VLSIC technology to create complex signals from six fundamental waveforms. The standard 8904A digitally synthesizes precise sine, square, triangle, ramp, white noise, and dc waveforms and routes these signals to a single output. Option 001 adds three more identical internal synthesizers (channels) which can either modulate the first synthesizer or be summed to the output. Frequency, amplitude, waveform, phase, and destination can be independently set for each synthesizer. Available modulation types for channel A include AM, FM, FM, DSBSC, and pulse modulation. Option 002 adds a second 50 ohm output, providing a second separate signal for two channel applications. Option 003 adds fast hop and digital modulation capability to the 8904A. Option 005 allows multiple 8904As to be phase synchronized for applications which require the use of more than one 8904A. Option 006 changes output one of the 8904A from a 50
floating output to a 600 ohm, high-power balanced output. With this option, the 8904A can deliver 10 volts rms into a 600 ohm load from 30 Hz to over 100 kHz. All this unique capability makes the Agilent 8904A a powerful new tool for demanding applications like VOR, ILS, FM stereo, and communications signaling.

Range:

• Sine wave: 0 Hz to 600 kHz

• Square, triangle, ramp: 0 Hz to 50 kHz
