HP 71708A Microwave Source, 2.4 GHz to 25.8 GHz


[ Summary ][ Features ][ Specifications ][ Ordering ][ Assistance ]

Product Summary

The HP 71708A microwave source makes an excellent substitute LO for your radar system, phase noise measurement system, or test source for microwave receiver testing. It provides the lowest AM phase noise of any commercially available microwave source and provides up to +16 dBm of output power. The standard HP 71708A has a frequency resolution of 600 MHz. If finer frequency resolution is required, Option 002 and an HP 8662A synthesized signal generator can be added to provide resolution of 0.1 Hz. Components of the HP 71708A include the HP 70428A microwave source module and the HP 70004A color display/mainframe.
