Microwave Analog Signal Generator (9kHz to 12GHz)
The Keysight AP5002A/512 is a microwave analog signal generator with a frequency range of 9kHz to 12GHz.
For users requiring a larger frequency range, this can also be easily upgraded via software option. Part numbers and corresponding increases are as follows:
- AP5002AU/F01: 12 GHz to 20 GHz
- AP5002AU/F02: 12 GHz to 26 GHz
- AP5002AU/F03: 20 GHz to 26 GHz
Step attenuator and high output power options
The AP5002A can also be upgraded via software keycode with a step attenuator and increased output power.
Option part numbers are as follows:
- AP5002AU/1E1 – Step attenuator
- AP5002AU/1EA – High output power
Performance specifications with these options can be viewed in the chart below.
