Keysight / Agilent N5161A Overview

For Highly Cost-sensitive and Demanding ATE Production Environment

The N5161A MXG ATE RF signal generator provides the same industry-leading performance, reliability, and form factor (2RU) of the popular N5181A MXG -- all at a reduced price. This signal generator has been streamlined for automated test equipment (ATE) needs with removal of the front-panel display and all connectors relocated to the rear panel for convenient and secure rack configurations. Combining the outstanding MXG performance with a base price reduction over the N5181A MXG signal generator, makes the N5161A MXG ATE analog signal generator ideally suited for today’s demanding production environment.
