The Agilent/Keysight E8257DV05 is a millimeter-wave frequency extension module that expands the signal generation capabilities of compatible Keysight PSG and MXG/EXG signal generators into the WR5.1 waveguide band. Operating from 140 to 220 GHz, this module delivers high-power millimeter-wave test signals while preserving the frequency accuracy and resolution of the host generator. The E8257DV05 maintains direct frequency control and display through the connected signal generator, eliminating the need for external frequency controllers or separate displays.
