Keysight N5182B Vector Signal Generator; 9 kHz to 5 GHz

The Keysight N5182B MXG X-Series RF Vector Signal Generator delivers high-performance signal generation from 9 kHz to 6 GHz, supporting a broad range of wireless communication and RF testing applications. With advanced vector signal capabilities, it enables precise generation of complex modulated waveforms required for modern systems design and validation.

It features output power from –144 dBm to +19 dBm, low phase noise of –126 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz, and excellent amplitude accuracy of ±0.5 dB. The generator supports multiple analog and vector modulation types with modulation bandwidth up to 120 MHz, internal baseband up to 160 MHz, and external I/Q inputs to 200 MHz.

Equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen and standard connectivity including LAN, USB, and GPIB, the N5182B integrates easily into automated environments. Previously known under Agilent Technologies, this model combines high signal quality, fast switching, and flexibility for demanding RF signal workflows.
