Description
Industrys Best Close-To-Carrier Phase Noise Performance
- Lowest phase noise available in a commercially-available signal generator
- Optional analog modulation (AM, FM, M, and pulse) capability
- Superior level accuracy
- High output power
- Metrology-grade performance ideal for demanding applications such as radar system development, satellite communications evaluation, or when a very low noise local oscillator or reference signal is needed
Built on the outstanding legacy of the 8663A, the E8663D delivers improved performance and is fully code compatable with its predecessor for seamless upgrades to existing test systems. Enhanced narrow pulse modulation and extended support life are optionally available.
