Product Overview
The Keysight (formerly Agilent) E8267C is the industry's first integrated microwave vector signal generator. Using its wideband I/Q modulator, the device delivers up to 1GHz RF modulation bandwidth.
The advanced wideband (80MHz) internal baseband generator is capable of flexible arbitrary waveform playback and sophisticated real-time signal generation.
Customize the E8267C for baseband, RF, and microwave test applications, such as simple distortion tests, general-purpose troubleshooting, baseband coding algorithm development, or advanced digital microwave transceiver design verification. Conveniently access the calibrated wideband test stimuli, ranging from digital and analog baseband to RF and microwave carrier frequencies. Get comprehensive, optional performance enhancements and accessories with a signal creation software suite. Also, check out the Keysight N5101A baseband studio of signal applications and accessories that give you digital baseband signals in and out of your PSG or ESG quickly.
