The E8257D-520 PSG microwave analog signal generator covers a specified range of 250 kHz to 20 GHz, with a tunable range extending from 100 kHz to 20 GHz. This fully-synthesized source delivers 0.001 Hz frequency resolution in CW mode and features high output power with low phase noise for demanding test applications.
The standard E8257D-520 provides +15 dBm specified maximum output power from 0.4 GHz to 3.2 GHz and from 3.2 to 10 GHz, with typical performance reaching +21 to +23 dBm. From 10 to 20 GHz, specified power remains +15 dBm with +21 to +23 dBm typical. With Option 1EU, output power increases significantly across all bands.
At a 10 GHz carrier, the standard E8257D-520 delivers -43 dBc/Hz specified at 10 Hz offset, -85 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz, and -120 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset. With Option UNX, performance improves to -49 dBc/Hz at 10 Hz, -91 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz, and -126 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset, meeting the most demanding close-in phase noise requirements.
The E8257D-520 achieves less than 11 ms typical CW switching speed to within 0.1 ppm of final frequency above 250 MHz, or within 100 Hz below 250 MHz. Nominal switching speed is under 7 ms. An additional 12 ms typical is required when switching across the 3.2 GHz band boundary.
Yes, with Option 007, the E8257D-520 provides analog ramp sweep capability with maximum sweep rates up to 400 MHz/ms above 3.2 GHz. Sweep time is settable from 10 ms to 200 seconds with 1 ms resolution, and the instrument supports frequency and power sweeps with 10 independent markers and compatibility with Keysight 8757D scalar network analyzers.
The E8257D-520 supports comprehensive analog modulation including AM, FM, phase modulation, and pulse modulation. Simultaneous modulation combinations are supported for complex signal simulation. The internal modulation source provides sine, square, triangle, ramp, and noise waveforms for versatile test signal generation.
The E8257D-520 uses an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) with an aging rate of less than 3 x 10^-8 per year. Initial calibration accuracy is better than 4 x 10^-8, temperature effects are less than 4.5 x 10^-9 typical from 0 to 55 degrees C, and line voltage effects are less than 2 x 10^-10 for a plus or minus 10% change.
With Option 1EH low-pass filters engaged below 2 GHz, harmonic suppression improves to -55 dBc, ideal for receiver testing and spurious-sensitive applications. Without the filters, harmonics are typically -8 dBc. Sub-harmonics are absent from 250 kHz to 10 GHz and remain below -60 dBc from 10 to 20 GHz.
