N5181B-506 9 kHz – 6 GHz MXG Analog Signal Generator, Type N (f)

The Keysight N5181B-506 is a 6 GHz MXG analog signal generator that offers a host of features to its users. Use the MXG to test radar receiver sensitivity, characterize ADC or mixer SNR, or find receiver out-of-band rejection capability. You’ll get excellent results with industryleading phase noise of –146 dBm at 1 GHz and spurious performance of –96 dBc at 1 GHz. With EVM of less than 0.4 percent (802.11ac and LTE) and factory-equalized 160 MHz RF bandwidth with flatness of less than ± 0.2 dB, the MXG enables testing and characterization of multicarrier power amplifiers or wideband receivers and components, such as those used in 802.11ac WLAN designs
