The Agilent/Keysight 86222A is a plug-in sweep oscillator module for the HP 8620C mainframe, delivering continuous frequency sweep capability across 10 MHz to 2.4 GHz. This unit provides internally leveled output with ±0.25 dB flatness across its entire operating range, ensuring stable signal generation for network analysis, component characterization, and RF testing applications. Maximum leveled output reaches +13 dBm (20 mW), with typical leveled output at +15 dBm and power level accuracy of ±1 dB. The module features a 150 kHz typical frequency response, enabling fast sweep rates without sacrificing stability. An optional 70 dB attenuator (Option 002) expands dynamic range control for precise power level management in demanding measurement scenarios.
