• Reliable RF signal generation at an affordable price
• Easily perform general-purpose testing with a full sweep function
• 9 kHz to 3 GHz frequency range
• -127 to +13 dBm level range (settable to +20 dBm)
• Built-in AM, FM, and pulse modulation

The Keysight N9310A RF signal generator covers a frequency range from 9 kHz to 3 GHz. Its low price, reliable performance, and straightforward functionality make it well-suited for start-up R&D, service maintenance, manufacturing, and education.

There are some applications where the basic functionality of a signal generator is all you need—or want, such as the RX level test of a receiver, components characterization, and EMC test of a product. For those instances, the N9310A RF signal generator is ideal. You can count on the N9310A signal generator to provide the reliable performance you need that’s just right for general-purpose testing.

Optional upgrades

The Keysight N9310A can also be upgraded to meet more advanced testing requirements. Part numbers and descriptions are as follows:

• N9310A-001
• I/Q input capability
• N9310A-PFR
• Optional OCXO frequency reference
• Provides up to ± 1 × 10-7 annual aging rate and ± 5 × 10-8 temperature stability (5-50 °C)

Even the simplest of today’s electronic products with RF content demand adequate and proper design verification. While you may occasionally need a full-function and high-performance signal generator, you usually need a simple continuous wave (CW) source. For this application, the Keysight N9310A RF signal generator is ideal.

Whether you’re developing new products, creating product enhancements, or creating a redesign, N9310A’s small footprint saves room on space-limited R&D benches and other areas where standalone use is desirable.

Trimming your manufacturing costs without compromising product quality is essential. While RF signal generators come with various functions and price levels, you need the solution that provides just the functionality you need at the lowest cost possible. That’s the N9310A RF signal generator.

Whether testing on a line or using an automated test configuration with rack-mounted equipment, the N9310A also has flexibility. For bench line testing, the bumper handle elevates the unit to a comfortable viewing angle, or stack the N9310A with other test equipment on automated test lines. The compact N9310A needs just 3U, and the optional rack mount kit makes it easy to incorporate into an EIA standard 19-inch (482.6 mm) rack or cabinet.

Every RF teaching lab needs RF signal generators. The N9310A provides students’ capabilities and is a reliable general-purpose local oscillator or signal source. As one of the lowest-priced signal generators from Keysight Technologies, the N9310A makes it practical to purchase multiple units, allowing your students to benefit from more hands-on RF circuit experiments and exercises. You’ll also appreciate its straightforward operation, external modulation source, and the ability to inject external baseband signals to the N9310A. From the classroom to performing basic research, the N9310A delivers.

Combine the N9310A RF signal generator, N9320B RF spectrum analyzer, and the RF training kit to establish your modern RF teaching lab. You can quickly address the hands-on lab needs of your students, covering the classic transceiver characterization, individual RF component tests, and even test automation practice.
