What frequency coverage does the N5171B Option 506 provide?
The N5171B with Option 506 delivers extended frequency coverage from 9 kHz to 6 GHz. This analog EXG X-Series signal generator is optimized for manufacturing test applications requiring CW signals, swept signals, and analog modulation across the full range, including coverage for WiFi bands up to 5.8 GHz.
What is the output power range of the N5171B-506?
The N5171B-506 provides maximum output power up to +13 dBm nominal across the 9 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range. Absolute level accuracy is plus or minus 0.6 dB from 250 kHz to 3 GHz and plus or minus 0.7 dB from 3 GHz to 6 GHz at +10 dBm when operating between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.
How does the N5171B-506 handle fast frequency switching for production testing?
The N5171B-506 standard frequency switching speed is 5 ms or less (typical) in list/step sweep mode, settling to within 0.1 ppm of the target frequency or 100 Hz (whichever is greater) with amplitude within 0.2 dB. With optional Option UNZ (fast switching), this improves to 900 microseconds or less warranted, and typically under 800 microseconds. For cached frequency points in list mode with internal corrections enabled, the speed is under 1.3 ms. There is no speed penalty for amplitude-only changes, which benefits multi-level power sweeps.
What FM and AM modulation capabilities does the N5171B-506 offer?
The N5171B-506 supports AM with modulation depths up to 90% and FM with deviation up to 20 MHz. The digital synthesis band FM deviation is 5 MHz. DCFM (DC-coupled FM) is also supported for applications requiring accurate low-frequency deviations, with typical performance at its best immediately following a DCFM calibration cycle.
Can the N5171B-506 generate pulsed RF signals?
Yes, with Option UNW the N5171B-506 includes an internal pulse generator that supports multiple modes including free-run, square wave, triggered, adjustable doublet, trigger doublet, gated, and external pulse. The square wave rate ranges from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz, and the pulse period spans 30 ns to 42 seconds with 10 ns resolution. Option 320 adds a pulse train generator supporting up to 2047 patterns.
What list sweep features are available on the N5171B-506?
The N5171B-506 provides list sweep mode allowing you to create custom sequences with independent frequency, amplitude, and dwell time at each step. Lists can be triggered externally or set to continuous operation. The instrument automatically caches the most recently used 1024 frequencies, delivering faster switching for repeated sweep patterns commonly used in production calibration and verification.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of the N5171B-506?
The N5171B-506 measures 88 mm high by 426 mm wide by 489 mm long (including rear panel feet), which translates to 3.5 by 16.8 by 19.2 inches. The maximum length including the RF connector tip to the end of the rear panel feet is 508 mm (20 inches). Net weight is 13.6 kg (30 lb) or less, and shipping weight is 28.6 kg (63 lb) or less.
What is the recommended calibration interval for the N5171B-506?
The recommended calibration cycle for the N5171B-506 is 36 months. The instrument is manufactured in an ISO-9001 registered facility. It requires a 45 minute warm-up period after power-on and must be stored for at least 2 hours within the 0 to 55 degree Celsius operating temperature range before warranted specifications apply.
