HP 8360L Series Synthesized Swept-CW Generators, up to 50 GHz

The HP 8360L series swept-CW generators combine the excellent frequency resolution, level control, signal purity, and modulation capabilities you expect of a high-performance synthesized signal generator with the speed and convenience of a sweep oscillator. They are ideal for the demanding requirements of signal simulation, local oscillator, and stimulus/response component or subsystem test applications. The HP 8360L series offers a choice of models to meet a variety of application requirements. Ultra-broadband frequency coverage for 10 MHz to 50 GHz is available in coax using a 2.4 mm precision connector. High-power models with up to +20 dBm are also available, and they can be used to directly drive the HP 83550 series mm-wave source modules for superior performance to 110 GHz in waveguide.

                               disconnected from AC power for more than 24 hours require 
                               30 days to achieve time base aging specification. Instruments
