It tunes from 150 MHz to 9 GHz with output levels of better than +10 dBm through 6 GHz and switching speed of better than 500 μs. It achieves excellent spectral purity, with phase noise of -92 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz from a 2.5-GHz carrier and -110 dBc/Hz offset 100 kHz from the same.
A battery option provides up to 4 hours of operating time, and allows the instrument to be fully recharged within only 30 minutes.
