Description
Item #: N5182B
Manufacturer: HP Agilent
Series: MXG Series
N5182B by HP Agilent is an RF Vector Signal Generator in the MXG Series. N5182B features a Frequency Range of 9 kHz to 6 GHz (with Option 506) and a Resolution of 0.001 Hz.
The HP Agilent N5182B RF Vector Signal Generator is well-suited for the R&D field, consumer wireless, military communications, and radar. This model can assess radar receiver sensitivity, characterize ADC or mixer SNR, drive power amplifiers, characterize nonlinear behavior, and discover receiver out-of-band rejection. This RF Vector Signal Generator permits assessment of multicarrier power amplifiers or wideband receivers and parts, such as the type used in 802.11ac WLAN designs.
One of the most valuable features of the N5182B are the advanced self-maintenance features, which include complete root-cause self-diagnostics. There is a suggested three-year interval between calibrations. If the user keeps up with calibrations and self-maintenance, then support costs will be minimal and device uptime will be boosted. With the N5182B RF Vector Signal Generator, the user will also be able to save space because this model is only 2U high.
There are many options available for the N5182B, including an integrated multi-function generator, a USB power-sensor interface, and many others. The user can select the performance and capabilities they currently need, with the possibility to upgrade in the future. Another unique feature of this RF Vector Signal Generator is that the user can purchase only the necessary waveforms with 5-pack and 50-pack licensing.
With the use of the Signal Studio Software, signal creation is easier than ever. Basic options allow for the creation of partly coded, statistically accurate signals for stimulus/response measurements. Moreover, the user can complete component-level parametric assessments of modulators, filters, amplifiers, etc. Additionally, the performance of transmitters, RF subsystems, and receivers can be confirmed.
