A generator with lower phase noise adds less unwanted noise to the DUT, showing the DUT’s true performance. Test the device, not the generator.
Output power at 6 GHz
+26 dBm
A higher power level allows a wider testing range. Extra power compensates for fixtures and cables between the generator and test point, removing the need for external amplifiers.
Dimensions (W × H × D)
344 mm × 108 mm × 372 mm
A smaller footprint saves space on a crowded workbench.

Why this is important
Frequency range
8 kHz to 1 / 3 / 6 GHz
To cover the frequency range of the DUT.
Phase noise (f = 1 GHz, 20 kHz offset)
< −126 dBc
A generator with lower phase noise adds less unwanted noise to the DUT, showing the DUT’s true performance. Test the device, not the generator.
Output power at 6 GHz
