This unit
The Agilent HP E4432A ESG-D3000A is a digital signal generator engineered for wireless communication receiver test, component characterization, and local oscillator applications. It delivers precise RF signal generation across 250 kHz to 3 GHz with flexible digital modulation formats including GMSK, π/4 DQPSK, and GFSK. The instrument combines broad frequency coverage, fine-resolution output control, and fast modulation switching to support production throughput and measurement reliability in demanding test environments.

Agilent / HP E4432A/ESG-D3000A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / HP E4432A/ESG-D3000A. 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 / HP E4432A/ESG-D3000A 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.
