This unit
The Agilent/Keysight 83711 is a synthesized CW signal generator engineered for precision frequency and power control across microwave and millimeter-wave applications. Available in two frequency variants - 83711A/11B covering 1 GHz to 20 GHz and 83712A/12B spanning 10 MHz to 20 GHz - the instrument delivers maximum leveled output power of +11 dBm across 1–18 GHz (standard) with a dynamic range exceeding 100 dB. Minimum leveled output reaches −4 dBm (standard) or −110 dBm with Option 1E1, enabling demanding attenuation requirements.

Agilent / Keysight 83711 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight 83711. 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 Agilent / Keysight 83711 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.
