Product Overview

The Keysight N5182A (Agilent) MXG RF Vector Signal Generator features fast frequency, amplitude, and waveform switching, high power with an electronic attenuator, and high reliability – all in two rack units (2RU). The Keysight N5182A is optimized for manufacturing cellular communications and wireless connectivity components. The Keysight N5182A provides better value for your investment by increasing throughput, improving test yield, maximizing uptime, and saving rack space. With scalable RF and baseband performance, the Keysight N5182A is easily configured to meet your specific test needs.

With the industry's best combination of high power and distortion performance the Keysight N5182A (Agilent) ensures accurate component design verification. When combined with flexible signal creation tools such as Signal Studio software, the low ACLR (-73 dBc at +5 dBm for 1 carrier W-CDMA) makes the Agilent N5182A a complete solution for W-CDMA, WiMAX™, and more. Simplified self-maintenance decreases time for repair and performance verification, keeping downtime to less than 2 hours using field-replaceable assemblies.
