Agilent/HP E4438C-503-1E5-601, 250kHz -3GHz ESG Vector Signal Generator.

Selecting Option 503 for the E4438C ESG vector signal generator provides a 250 kHz to 3 GHz frequency range. Five frequency range options are available to choose from, extending from 1 GHz up to 6 GHz maximum carrier frequency. This provides ample resolution to configure the ESG to meet your specific test requirements.

The 250 kHz to 3 GHz frequency range, combined with the advanced internal baseband generator, provides a powerful combination of benchmark test signals at baseband and RF frequencies up to 3 GHz.

When combined with the N5102A Baseband Studio digital signal interface module, mixed-signal testing with digital and analog baseband, digital and analog IF, and RF test stimuli are all easily realized.
