This unit

The Agilent/Keysight E5053A is a microwave downconverter that extends the frequency measurement range of the Keysight E5052A/B Signal Source Analyzer. This instrument enables phase noise characterization of microwave and millimeter-wave signals through cross-correlation measurement techniques. The E5053A integrates directly with the E5052A/B user interface, providing enhanced phase noise sensitivity across extended frequency bands.


For measurements beyond 26.5 GHz, the E5053A operates with Keysight 11970 series harmonic mixers to achieve phase noise analysis up to 110 GHz.


Technical Specifications



  • Product Type: Microwave downconverter

  • Frequency Extension: Extends E5052B maximum frequency to 26.5 GHz

  • Extended Range with Harmonic Mixers: Phase noise measurements to 110 GHz (with 11970 series mixers)

  • RF Input Connector: APC-3.5 (female), 50 Ω nominal

  • Measurement Method: Cross-correlation technique


Key Features



  • Direct integration with E5052A/B Signal Source Analyzer user interface

  • Enhanced phase noise sensitivity for microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies

  • Compatible with Keysight 11970 series harmonic mixers for extended frequency coverage

  • Single APC-3.5 RF input connection


Typical Applications



  • Microwave phase noise characterization

  • Millimeter-wave signal analysis

  • Harmonic and spurious content measurement in microwave sources

  • Extended-range frequency stability testing


Compatibility & Integration The E5053A interfaces exclusively with the Keysight E5052A/B Signal Source Analyzer platform. Connection requires RF cables (Keysight part numbers E5053-61621 or E5053-61622), USB connectivity (part number 8121-0770), and BNC interconnects (part number 8120-1839). Harmonic mixer functionality requires Keysight 11970 series components for frequencies above 26.5 GHz.
