Agilent Technologies E4438C ESG vector signal generator incorporates a broad array of
capabilities for testing both analog and digital communications systems. Flexible options
provide test solutions that will evaluate the performance of nearly all current and proposed
air interface standards. Many test functions can be customized to meet the needs of
proprietary and other nonstandard wireless protocols as well. You can configure your
instrument to address a wide variety of tests—from altering nearly every aspect of a
digital signal or signal operating environment, to creating experimental signals. This
flexibility, along with an architecture that accepts future enhancements makes the
E4438C ESG vector signal generator an excellent choice for wireless communications
system testing now and in the future.
Choose your required frequency range as an Option when configuring your
E4438C ESG vector signal generator. Please refer to the E4438C Configuration Guide
for complete ordering information. Literature number 5988-4085EN.
Specifications (spec): Specifications describe the instrument’s warranted performance
and apply after a 45 minute warm-up. All specifications are valid over the signal generators
entire operating/environmental range unless otherwise noted. Supplemental character-
istics, denoted typical or nominal, provide additional [nonwarranted] information useful
in applying the instrument. Column headings labeled “standard” imply that this level of
performance is standard, without regard for option configuration. If a particular option
configuration modifies the standard performance, that performance is given in a separate
column.
Typical (typ): performance is not warranted. It applies at 25°C. 80% of all products meet
typical performance.
Nominal (nom): values are not warranted. They represent the value of a parameter that
is most likely to occur; the expected or mean value. They are included to facilitate the
application of the product.
Standard (std): No options are included when referring to the signal generator unless
noted otherwise.
