includes installation guide, electronic documentation set (CD-ROM), adapters, and country specific power cord.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. PSG Microwave Analog Signal Generator Options
Step 1. Choose a frequency range (required)
All frequency range options support underrange to 100 kHz. However, performance specifications are not provided
between 100 kHz and 250 kHz. Additionally, Option 567 supports overrange to 70 GHz. Typical performance specifica-
tions are provided between 67 GHz and 70 GHz.
Ordering number Description
E8257D-520 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 20 GHz
E8257D-532 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 31.8 GHz
E8257D-540 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 40 GHz
E8257D-550 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 50 GHz
E8257D-567 Frequency range from 250 kHz to 67 GHz
