Introduction
Standard Agilent Technologies ESG family RF signal
generators incorporate a broad array of capabilities for
testing both analog and digital communications systems.
Adding flexible options provides a test solution that will
evaluate the performance of a communication system to
the requirements of nearly all current and proposed air
interface standards. Many test functions can be customized
to meet the needs of proprietary and other nonstandard
wireless protocols as well. You can configure your
instrument to address a wide variety of tests—from
altering nearly every aspect of a digital signal or signal
operating environment to creating experimental signals.
This flexibility, along with an architecture that accepts
future enhancements makes the ESG family an excellent
choice for wireless communications system testing now and
in the future.
ESG family of RF signal generators
The family consists of four series:
ESG-A series: analog instruments
