Agilent technologies has introduced mxg signal generators. The company says that these signal generators offer the best adjacent channel power ratio performance and switching speeds, coupled with simplified self-maintenance to maximize uptime. For a 4-carrier 3gpp w-cdma signal, the adjacent-channel leakage ratio is -65 dbc [-69 dbc measured] and for a single-carrier signal it is -71 dbc [-76 dbc measured]. It permits for greater select margins, ensuring more accurate measurements and improved yield. It also makes the agilent mxg signal generators suitable for characteristics such as high-dynamic-range components like multicarrier power amplifier.
