Rent or Lease
Keysight Technologies - E8257D-567
The Keysight Technologies E8257D-567 PSG analog signal generator delivers industry-leading output power, level accuracy, and phase noise performance to 20 GHz. The E8257D-567 PSG's high output power and superior level accuracy often eliminates the need of an external amplifier for testing high power devices.
The Keysight Technologies E8257D-567 PSG also minimizes test uncertainty by helping to identify errors early in the design process. This PSG Analog Signal Generator also has a world-class phase noise performance which is ideal for local oscillator, low jitter clock substitution and adjacent channel selectivity tests. When testing advanced RF and microwave radar, communications, and control systems, the PSG delivers the performance you demand.
E8257D-567 Product Highlights

Keysight Technologies E8257D-567 Manual
Content is AI-generated. Verify critical details with manufacturer-provided resources.
What is the frequency range of the Keysight E8257D Option 567 signal generator?
The Keysight E8257D with Option 567 covers a specified frequency range of 250 kHz to 67 GHz, with operational capability extending up to 70 GHz. CW frequency resolution is 0.001 Hz, while all sweep modes offer 0.01 Hz resolution. This broad range makes it suitable for millimeter-wave applications, radar testing, and high-frequency component characterization.
What output power levels does the E8257D-567 PSG analog signal generator achieve?
In standard configuration, the E8257D Option 567 delivers output power from -20 to +5 dBm across its full frequency range. With the optional step attenuator (Option 1E1), the minimum power extends down to -110 dBm. The Option 1EA amplifier boosts maximum output to +14 dBm from 3.2 to 10 GHz and +11 dBm from 30 to 65 GHz, providing flexibility for a wide variety of test scenarios.
What is the SSB phase noise performance of the E8257D-567?
At a 20 kHz offset from the carrier, the standard E8257D Option 567 achieves SSB phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz (typical -113 dBc/Hz) in the 3.2 to 10 GHz band, and -92 dBc/Hz (typical -96 dBc/Hz) in the 40 to 67 GHz band. With Option UNR, close-in phase noise improves significantly, reaching -84 dBc/Hz specified (-94 typical) at 100 Hz offset in the 3.2 to 10 GHz range. Phase noise specifications are warranted from 15 to 35 degrees Celsius.
Does the Keysight E8257D support frequency modulation and phase modulation?
Yes, with Option UNT the E8257D supports both FM and phase modulation. FM maximum deviation scales with carrier frequency, ranging from 2 MHz below 250 MHz up to 128 MHz in the 40 to 67 GHz band. Phase modulation offers up to 1280 radians of deviation in normal bandwidth mode at 40 to 67 GHz. Both FM and phase modulation paths (FM1/FM2) can be summed internally for composite modulation from internal or external sources.
What sweep modes are available on the E8257D PSG signal generator?
The E8257D offers step (digital) sweep and, with Option 007, ramp (analog) sweep. Step sweep supports frequency, amplitude, or combined sweeps with 2 to 65,535 points and dwell times from 1 ms to 60 seconds. Ramp sweep provides synthesized frequency sweep with maximum sweep rates up to 400 MHz/ms above 3.2 GHz, sweep times settable from 10 ms to 200 seconds, and 10 independently variable frequency markers.
What are the harmonic and sub-harmonic specifications of the E8257D-567?
Harmonics are specified at -55 dBc from 2 to 20 GHz, and typically -50 dBc from 20 to 67 GHz, measured at +10 dBm or maximum specified output power, whichever is lower. Sub-harmonics are absent from 250 kHz to 10 GHz, below -60 dBc from 10 to 20 GHz, and below -50 dBc above 20 GHz. Option 1EH harmonic filters can further reduce harmonics to -55 dBc across the 10 MHz to 2 GHz range.
How accurate is the output level of the E8257D-567 across its frequency range?
Level accuracy varies by frequency and power range. From 250 kHz to 2 GHz at 0 to +10 dBm, accuracy is within 0.6 dB. In the 2 to 20 GHz band, accuracy is within 0.8 dB at the same power level. Above 50 GHz, accuracy is within 1.5 dB from +10 to 0 dBm and 1.0 dB from 0 to -10 dBm. Temperature stability is typically 0.01 dB per degree Celsius, with amplitude resolution of 0.01 dB.
What amplitude modulation capabilities does the E8257D offer?
With Option UNT, the E8257D supports AM in both linear and exponential (log) modes. In linear mode with ALC on, maximum depth reaches 90%, extending beyond 95% with ALC off using power search or ALC on with deep AM enabled. The 3 dB modulation bandwidth spans DC to 100 kHz (DC coupled) or 10 Hz to 100 kHz (AC coupled, useable to 1 MHz). Total harmonic distortion is below 1.5% at 30% depth and below 2% at 60% depth.
