This unit
The HP/Agilent 83630L is a synthesized swept-CW generator delivering precise signal generation across 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz with +13 dBm calibrated output power. Built for microwave component and system testing, it combines wide frequency coverage with analog sweep capability, multiple modulation formats, and step-attenuator support for dynamic range extension to −110 dBm minimum settable output.
Technical Specifications Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz Output Power: Calibrated at +13 dBm; −110 dBm minimum settable with step attenuator (Option 001). Typical harmonics: −50 dBc below 26.5 GHz. Leveled output power is reduced by 1.5 dB to 20 GHz, 2 dB above 20 GHz, and 2.5 dB above 40 GHz. Temperature specification window: 15 °C to 35 °C (degraded 0.3 dB outside this range). Phase Noise: SSB phase noise <−80 dBc at 10 GHz, 10 kHz offset. Frequency Resolution: 1 kHz standard; 1 Hz with Option 008. Output power resolution: 0.02 dB. Frequency Switching Time: 10 ms typical (without attenuator change). Step sweep switching: 15 ms + (step size/1 GHz) × 5 ms within a frequency band. Temperature Stability: 0.01 dB/°C typical.

HP / Agilent 83630L — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the HP / Agilent 83630L. Calibration covers output frequency accuracy, output power level accuracy across the full frequency range, AM/FM/PM/pulse modulation accuracy, harmonic and spurious output levels, and phase noise floor verification. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common HP / Agilent 83630L faults: YIG oscillator failure (no output or loss of lock), step attenuator wear (output drops or steps at set attenuation), ALC loop failure (uncontrolled output power), I/Q modulator assembly failure. HP/Agilent 836xx series most common faults are YIG oscillator failure and step attenuator contact wear causing output steps or drops at specific attenuation settings. Keysight E4428C/E4438C units most commonly develop ALC loop failure and I/Q modulator assembly faults. YIG oscillator replacement and attenuator service are stocked repairs.

HP / Agilent 83630L calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the HP / Agilent 83630L is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers output frequency accuracy, output power level accuracy across the full frequency range, AM/FM/PM/pulse modulation accuracy, harmonic and spurious output levels, and phase noise floor verification. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
