Microwave frequency synthesizers yield clean test signals

MICROWAVE testing is much in demand, in spite of recent attention placed on lower-frequency, RF-based applications, With rapid growth in terrestrial line-of-sight links at 18 GHz and above, as well as in satellite communications at 28 GHz and above, the need persists for high-quality test signals, The HP 8360B series of synthesized swept signal generators and the HP 8360L series of synthesized swept CW generators from Hewlett-Packard Co. (Santa Rosa, CA) fill this need with high-resolution, high-output test signals at frequencies from 10 MHz through 50 GHz.
