What it is

The Keysight N5182B is a vector signal generator. The N5182B belongs to the MXG Vector product family. The N5182B has a maximum frequency of 6 GHz, extendable to 7.2 GHz with an option. The phase noise at 1 GHz and 20 kHz offset is −146 dBc/Hz. The maximum output power at 20 GHz is +26 dBm. The frequency switching time is 800 μs. The maximum RF bandwidth is 160 MHz internally and 200 MHz with external modulation.[1]
