Agilent N5161A MXG ATE RF Signal Generator

The N5161A MXG ATE RF signal generator provides a similar industry-leading execution, reliability, and form factor (2RU) as the popular N5181A MXG, all at a diminished cost. This signal generator has been streamlined for automated test equipment (ATE) needs with expulsion of the front-board display and all connectors relocated to the back board for convenient and secure rack setups. Mixing the extraordinary MXG execution with a base price reduction over the N5181A MXG signal generator makes the N5161A MXG ATE analog signal generator perfectly suited for today’s demanding production environment.

This model offers +23 dBm @ 1 GHz output power with an electronic attenuator over the entire range, ≤1.2 ms switching speed in SCPI mode, ≤900 μs simultaneous frequency and amplitude in list mode, AM, FM, øM, and pulse, a ≤ -121 dBc/Hz (typ) phase noise at 1 GHz and 20 kHz offset, digital step and list sweep with simultaneous switching of frequency, power, and waveform. This model also has 100BaseT LAN, USB 2.0 ports, a GPIB interface, and SCPI and IVI-COM drivers.

The N5161A Signal Generator can maximize uptime, thanks to its improved self-maintenance that diminishes the time needed for repair and execution validation. This keeps downtime under 2 hours, utilizing field-replaceable assemblies. The new EXG offers the esteem and execution of the original MXG, alongside critical improvements to waveform memory and data transfer capacity, reverse power protection and spurious levels. This model also offers scaled up execution and functionality with options, such as a real-time baseband generator, high output power, and a built-in multi-function generator.
