E4438C-506 - Agilent HP Signal Generators

Selecting Option 506 for the E4438C ESG vector signal generator provides a 250 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range. Five frequency range options are available to choose from, extending from 1 GHz up to 6 GHz maximum carrier frequency. This provides ample resolution to configure the ESG to meet your specific test requirements. Option 506 requires the purchase of Option UNJ (enhanced phase noise performance) and includes the mechanical attenuator used in Option UNB (high output power).

The 250 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range, combined with the advanced internal baseband generator, provides a powerful combination of benchmark test signals at baseband and RF frequencies up to 6 GHz.

When combined with the N5102A Baseband Studio digital signal interface module, mixed-signal testing with digital and analog baseband, digital and analog IF, and RF test stimuli are all easily realized.

Option 506 is recommended for test cases that require baseband and RF test signals at or below 6 GHz carrier frequency. Common uses include the generation of receiver test signals in the cellular, ISM, and UNII frequency bands, including 802.11a/b/g WLAN and Bluetooth. In addition, test stimulus generation for various components used in wireless communications systems transceivers, such as ASICs, DSPs, ADCs, DACs, up/down converters, filters and power amplifiers is easily achieved.
