The new E8267C PSG vector signal
generator, a member of Agilent’s
next-generation of performance
signal generators, opens new doors
in the testing and characterization
of microwave components and
systems in a single integrated
instrument.
Many systems that operate at microwave
frequencies need modulation bandwidths
ranging from tens to hundreds of mega-
hertz, whether they are pulsed radar sets
or broadband wireless communication
systems employing vector modulation
to transfer high data rate signals. The
E8267C has features that enable the
generation of these signals and include:
• Internal I/Q modulation capability
which enables users to input external
baseband analog I/Q signals up to
160 MHz RF modulation bandwidth
through BNC ports on the front panel.
• Optional wideband I/Q inputs with RF
modulation bandwidth of 1 GHz.
Although uncalibrated, these inputs are
useful for many broadband applications.
Typical plots of frequency response are
provided in the PSG vector data sheet.
• Optional internal baseband generator,
which operates in dual mode, combining
the capabilities of a 32 Msample, deep
memory arbitrary waveform generator
with the sophisticated coding power of
a real-time baseband generator.

AGILENT PSG SIGNAL GENERATORS
• Standard two-tone and multitone
applications are built into the optional
internal baseband generator of the PSG
vector signal generator. Users can
press a few simple soft keys to quickly
generate multitone waveforms, and
define relative tone spacing, relative
tone power and phase relationships.
These capabilities eliminate the issues
associated with combining multiple
continuous wave signal generators,
and significantly reduce test costs.
• Compatibility with industry-standard
software packages – including Agilent’s
Advanced Design System (ADS) soft-
ware and other industry standard
software packages such as MATLAB
and Excel
®
– which makes it easy to
generate customized arbitrary waveform
files. Once a waveform file has been
developed, engineers can use Agilent’s
free PSG/ESG Download Assistant PC
software. This software works entirely
in the MATLAB environment. Developers
can use these functions to download
MATLAB I/Q data into the volatile
memory of the signal generator and play
it back with a single command. Also,
customers can use Agilent’s Intuilink, a
free connectivity software, that allows
easy transfer of measurement data and
images from instruments into PC
(Microsoft Word
®
and Excel) with little
or no programming.
