Compact, four-channel vector signal generator capable of signal generation up to 8.5 GHz with 960 MHz of modulation bandwidth per channel
The Keysight MXG analog signal generator provides consistent and repeatable results ideal for multiport testing. The MXG’s custom DAC application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) use direct digital synthesis (DDS) to deliver precise signals all in one easy-to-use box.
Evolving technologies in wireless communications and aerospace defense applications demand higher frequency coverage using complex modulation schemes like multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), beamforming, and multiplexing to maximize data throughput. The MXG is an ideal solution.

- Covers frequency range from 9 kHz to 8.5 GHz with excellent phase noise and output power
- Supports military radio communications and MIMO tests with up to 4 unique outputs
- Reduces measurement uncertainty in power amplifier characterizations when utilizing the embedded reflectometer
- Maximizes production capacity without sacrificing rack space in a 2U box
- Simulates complex analog modulation schemes with multi-function generator capability
- Enables fast access to a dedicated team of KeysightCare technical support engineers
