Signal Generator Models and Features
The PSG Family comprises two series, the PSG-A and PSG-L. The PSG-A Series provides
analog modulation in addition to continuous wave (CW) signals. The PSG-L Series provides
CW signals only. Table 1-1 lists the PSG-A and PSG-L Series model numbers and their
frequency ranges.
PSG-L Series Features
The PSG-L Series includes the following features:
• CW output from 250 kHz to 20 GHz (E8241A) or 40 GHz (E8244A)
• list and step sweep of frequency and amplitude, with multiple trigger sources
• external diode detector leveling
• user flatness correction
• automatic leveling control (ALC) on and off modes; power calibration in ALC-off mode is
available, even without power search
• 10 MHz reference oscillator with external output
• GPIB, RS-232, and 10 base-T LAN input/output interfaces
• a millimeter head interface that is compatible with Agilent 83550 Series millimeter heads
(for frequency extension up to 110 GHz)
