3 Modes of Operation for All Models
Depending on the model and installed options, the Keysight N5171B/72B/73B EXG and
N5181B/82B/83B MXG X-Series signal generators provide the following modes of operation:
— Continuous Wave (CW) Mode on page 52
— Swept Signal Mode on page 52
— Analog Modulation Mode (AM, FM, ΦM, and Pulse) on page 52
— Digital Modulation Mode (N5172B/82B RF Vector Models w/ Option 65x Only) on page 53
—
Dual ARB mode
— ARB Custom Modulation mode
— Real-Time Custom Modulation mode
— Real-Time Applications mode
— Multitone mode
— Two–Tone mode
— Real-Time AWGN mode
— Real-Time Phase Noise Impairment mode
— Real-Time Fading mode
— Baseband Operating mode (Primary, BERT w/ Option UN7, or N5102A w/ Options 003 or 004)
To avoid damaging or degrading the performance of the instrument, do
not exceed 33 dBm (2 W)
maximum (27 dBm (0.5 W) for N5173B/83B) of
reverse power levels at the RF input. See also
