Description
Product Overview
Keysight positions the N5171B as an RF analog signal generator for RF receiver and component testing. It is part of the X-Series Signal Generators. Model-specific evidence confirms frequency range: 9 kHz to 6 GHz, optional highest frequency: 1, 3 or 6 GHz (by frequency option), 1 GHz output power: +21 dBm, 1 GHz, 20 kHz offset phase noise: −122 dBc/Hz, and 1 GHz harmonics: −35 dBc, supporting engineering work such as wireless design verification and production test stimulus generation. Exact options, interfaces, accessories, calibration scope, and regional availability depend on the ordered configuration and should be confirmed before purchase.
