9 kHz - 3 GHz MXG Vector High-Performance Signal Generator
The Keysight N5182B analog and vector MXG and EXG signal generators deliver unmatched performance in five key categories: phase noise and spectral purity, bandwidth, EVM, ACPR, and output power.

Perform advanced receiver testing compatible with the latest standards using the MXG or EXG and Signal Studio software: define signal parameters, transfer them to the instrument, and use closed-loop or interactive control during signal generation.

Take your designs to their limit with outstanding hardware performance, including unmatched phase noise and spurious characteristics.
Drive power amplifiers and characterize nonlinear behavior with industry-leading adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) and output power.
Test wideband devices with factory-equalized 160 MHz RF bandwidth.
Reduce the time spent on signal creation with PathWave Signal Generation software, including LTE, WLAN, and GNSS.
Lower your cost of ownership with 3-year cal cycles and comprehensive solutions for self-maintenance.
