Keysight Technologies, Inc. PSG Microwave Analog Signal Generator Options
Step 1. Choose a frequency range (required)
All frequency range options support underrange to 100 kHz. However, performance specifications are not provided
between 100 kHz and 250 kHz. Additionally, Option 567 supports overrange to 70 GHz. Typical performance specifica-
tions are provided between 67 GHz and 70 GHz.
Ordering number Description Purpose Requires
E8257D-520 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 20 GHz Selects the maximum frequency of the
signal generator
E8257D-532 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 31.8 GHz Selects the maximum frequency of the
signal generator
E8257D-540 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 40 GHz Selects the maximum frequency of the
signal generator
E8257D-550 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 50 GHz Selects the maximum frequency of the
signal generator
E8257D-567 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 67 GHz Selects the maximum frequency of the
signal generator
Step 2. Choose ultra-high output power model
Ordering number Description Purpose Requires
E8257D-521
1
Ultra-high output power model Selects the frequency range of the ultra-high
Frequency range from 10 MHz to 20 GHz output power signal generator
Step 3. Choose modulation
Ordering number Description Purpose Requires
Standard CW signal generation Generates continuous wave (CW) signals
(i.e. no modulation)
E8257D-UNT AM, FM, phase modulation, and LF output Generates analog modulated signals
E8257D-UNU
2
Pulse modulation Generates pulse modulated signals
(150 ns minimum pulse width)
E8257D-UNW
2
Narrow pulse modulation Generates pulse modulated signals
(20 ns minimum pulse width)
E8257D-1SM
3
Scan modulation Provides deep AM capability E8257D-520
and -UNT
Step 4. Choose step attenuator
Ordering number Description Purpose Requires
Standard No step attenuator Generates signals with output power levels
ranging from –20 dBm to maximum power
E8257D-1E1 Step attenuator Generates signals with output power levels
below –20 dBm (20, 31.8, and 40 GHz models
range from –135 dBm to their maximum power,
and 50 and 67 GHz models range from –110 dBm
to their maximum power)
This guide assists in the ordering process of the E8257D PSG microwave analog signal generator. Standard product
includes installation guide, electronic documentation set (CD-ROM), adapters, and country specific power cord.
1. 8257D-521 is not compatible with E8257D-520, -532, -540, -550, -567, 1SM, or 1EU. E8257D-521 includes E8257D-1EH.
2. Option E8257D-UNU and E8257D-UNW are mutually exclusive; choose one or the other or neither. However, option E8257D-UNU can be
upgraded to E8257D-UNW.
3. E8257D-1SM is not compatible with E8257D-521, -532, -540, -550, 567, or 1EM.
