This unit
The Keysight E8257DS10 is a millimeter-wave source module that extends the frequency capabilities of the E8257D or E8667D PSG signal generator (with Option 1EU) into the 75 GHz to 110 GHz band. This module delivers +5 dBm output power at 110 GHz via WR-10 waveguide flange, providing the frequency accuracy and resolution required for precision signal generation in aerospace, defense, and communications testing. The module accepts direct frequency control and display from the host PSG, inheriting its modulation capabilities including FM, PM, and pulse modulation.
DC power is supplied entirely through the PSG source module interface, eliminating separate power requirements. Input power protection is built in. Two attenuator configurations are available: a manual variable attenuator (Option A25) or electronic attenuator (Option EA2) for flexible output level control across the operating band.

Compatibility & Integration The E8257DS10 connects directly to the Keysight E8257D PSG Analog Signal Generator or E8667D PSG Vector Signal Generator when equipped with Option 1EU. No separate RF input connections or external power supplies are required.
Agilent / Keysight E8257DS10 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight E8257DS10. 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 E8257DS10 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.
