Product Note

The Agilent E8257D Option HNY provides an advanced phase lock loop circuit along with
a high-performance internal frequency reference that will improve both the close-in and
pedestal phase stability to provide superior phase noise performance at all offsets less than
250 kHz from carrier. With the integrated frequency dividers enabled (included with
Option HNY), the E8257D uses a dividing technique to output carrier frequencies below
250 MHz. This results in improved phase noise at all offsets for these frequencies. The
dividers can be disabled, returning the PSG to a standard mode of creating low frequencies
with a heterodyning technique. This mode provides wider deviation bandwidth for
frequency and phase-modulated signals. Controls for this mode are the same as for
Options UNX and UNY.
