Keysight / Agilent E8663D Overview

The E8663D analog signal generator provides the industry’s lowest phase noise available in an off-the-shelf signal generator. With optional analog modulation (AM, FM, ØM, and pulse) capability, superior level accuracy and high output power, the E8663D is the right choice for demanding applications such as radar system development, satellite communications evaluation, or when a very low noise local oscillator or reference signal is needed. Built on the outstanding legacy of the 8663A, the E8663D delivers improved performance and is fully code compatible with its predecessor for seamless upgrades to existing test systems. Enhanced narrow pulse modulation and extended support life are optionally available.
