Keysight Expert vector signal generators come in two classes. The XG4-class includes the AP5041A-AP5042A and the XG5-class includes the N5186A MXG.
The AP5042A G3 vector signal generator is a multi-channel, ultra-agile vector signal generator with a high-performance internal I/Q modulator.
| Harmonics @ 1 GHz | -45 dBc |
| Output power @1 GHz | 18 dBm |
| Frequency switching speed | 2 µs |
Generate complex wideband signals needed for carrier aggregation and digital pre-distortion (DPD) applications with up to 1 GHz bandwidth per channel.
Ensure repeatable, high-quality measurements to speed up R&D testing or optimize production test margins with low adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) and high output power.
Accelerate testing or emulate fast-moving signals like radar with rapid switching speeds and list mode pre-programming of frequency, amplitude, and other parameters.
Critical for capturing precise measurements in highly sensitive applications like radar, satellite communications, and high-frequency oscillators.
| Output power @1 GHz | 18 dBm to 25 dBm |
| Harmonics @ 1 GHz | -45 dBc to -35 dBc |
| Frequency switching speed | 2 µs to 800 µs |
The AP5042A G3 vector signal generator is a multi-channel, ultra-agile vector signal generator with a high-performance internal I/Q modulator.
Enable outstanding, ultra-fast continuous wave (CW) frequency sweeping, chirping, intra-pulse modulation, frequency hopping, and pulse shaping, all with very low phase noise. Per channel, a high-performance internal I/Q modulator enables customized modulation waveforms and supports dedicated modulation schemes, including avionics modulation. Each output can be programmed independently in frequency, power, phase, and modulation, and the outputs are phase-coherent with excellent phase stability.
