Excellent all-inclusive RF and analog modulation performance up to 3 or 6 GHz

The E4428C ESG analog signal generator delivers outstanding spectral purity, level accuracy, output power, and analog modulation performance up to 3 or 6 GHz for all general-purpose test needs. This makes the E4428C ESG a superb choice for general-purpose tests requiring CW, AM, M, and FM receiver and component test signals in the cellular, ISM, and UNII frequency bands.

Migrate to the new MXG X-Series signal generator and generate true performance:

The new MXG exceeds the ESG's performance in every category- power, ACPR, EVM, phase noise, bandwidth and memory depth- and offers a wider range of signal simulation with both real-time and arbitrary waveform generation capabilities. Why migrate from the ESG to the new MXG?
