Vector Signal Generator

Data Sheet

The Agilent E8267D is a fully synthesized signal generator with high output power,

low phase noise, and I/Q modulation capability.

Specifications apply over a 0 to 55 °C range, unless otherwise stated, and

apply after a 45 minute warm-up time. Supplemental characteristics, denoted

as typical, nominal, or measured, provide additional (non-warranted) information

at 25 °C, which may be useful in the application of the product.

Definitions
