N5181A Signal Generator

Description

Designed for the most demanding manufacturing and R&D testing, the Agilent MXG analog system offers high reliability and high power—all within two rack units (2RU)—optimized to deliver the precise and repeatable reference signals needed from the R&D bench to the production line. With optional fast frequency and amplitude switching, the MXG analog maximizes the value of your manufacturing investment by increasing throughput, maximizing uptime, and saving rack space. With scalable RF performance, the Agilent MXG analog system can be easily configured to meet your specific test needs, including LO and clock replacement, CW interference, and modulated signals for analog communication systems such as AM, FM, and PM.

Maximize Uptime
Simplified self-maintenance reduces the time for repairs and performance verification, using field-replaceable components to keep downtime within 2 hours.
