Introducing the New Keysight MXG Signal Generator
The new MXG vector signal generator packs up to 4 sources and a reflectometer into a single chassis. The embedded reflectometer expedites the setup process when correcting for the DUT match in minutes versus days. The MXG signal generator provides consistent and repeatable results and scales across a wide range of applications.
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 vector signal generator provides consistent and repeatable results ideal for wideband multichannel testing. The MXG’s custom DAC application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) use direct digital synthesis (DDS) to deliver precise signals to minimize distortion and meet the evolving standards for component and module design.
