The Agilent 83752A 20 GHz Synthesized Sweeper is a high-performance signal source engineered for RF and microwave testing across 10 MHz to 20 GHz. It delivers synthesized precision with 1 Hz CW resolution and supports multiple sweep modes—stepped, ramp (phase-locked), marker, and alternate—enabling rapid device characterization. Maximum leveled output reaches +10 dBm with 0.01 dB power resolution and ±1.0 dB accuracy above –10 dBm. Frequency switching completes in 70 ms CW mode; stepped sweep points switch in 7 ms plus 8 ms/GHz. Ramp sweeps span 10 ms to 100 s at up to 400 MHz/ms, with accuracy to ±0.01% of span ±75 kHz for 100 ms sweeps. Standard timebase stability is ±10 ppm; optional high-stability timebase (1E5) achieves 5 × 10⁻¹⁰/day aging and 1 × 10⁻¹⁰/°C temperature coefficient. Harmonic content measures –45 dBc (–30 dBc below 1.5 GHz); non-harmonic spurious suppression reaches –50 dBc. Power flatness within the –10 dBm region is ±0.7 dB; source match is typically –10 dBm)
