The Agilent/Keysight 70311A is a synthesized frequency reference distribution module designed to generate precise clock signals within the Hewlett-Packard Modular Measurement System (MMS) platform. Operating across 16 MHz to 3.3 GHz with 1 Hz step resolution, this four-slot module delivers variable synthesized clock outputs at ±3 dBm into 50 ohm loads. Built for high-performance electronic testing and measurement applications, it provides the frequency stability and spectral purity demanded by error performance analysis and pattern generation systems.
