Breaks 1W

The model E8257D signal generator from agilent technologies now offers an option for more than 1 W (+30 dbm) output power from 250 mhz to 20 ghz (and usable down to 10 mhz). For applications that require specified output power higher than +25 dbm such as TWT amplifier testing and ATE/antenna test configurations (where signal insertion loss is high due to switch routings and long cable lengths)

* extra hardware such as amplifiers, couplers and detectors are needed. This signal generator and option eliminate that requirement and the costs associated with that extra hardware.
