Why the AP5000 Series?

1. Unrivaled Signal Purity

The AP5000 series is designed for those who need to see the signal, not the noise. With ultra-low close-in phase noise and exceptional harmonic suppression, these units provide the clean reference signals required for high-order modulation and sensitive radar testing.

2. High-Speed Agility

In automated test equipment (ATE) environments, time is money. With switching speeds under 20 µs, the AP5001A and AP5002A significantly reduce test cycle times, allowing for higher throughput without sacrificing accuracy.

3. Compact & Scalable

Space is at a premium in modern benches and racks. These units deliver high-end performance in a slim, lightweight chassis, making them ideal for:

  • System Integration: Easily fits into dense ATE racks.

  • Field Testing: Portable enough for on-site calibration and verification.

  • Multi-Channel Setups: Phase-coherent coupling for MIMO and beamforming applications.


Ideal Applications

  • Aerospace & Defense: Radar simulation, EW receiver testing, and local oscillator substitution.

  • Satellite Communications: Testing high-frequency transponders and ground station equipment.

  • Semiconductor Test: Characterizing high-speed digital-to-analog converters and RFICs.

  • Quantum Computing: Stable, low-noise microwave sources for qubit control and readout.


Ready to Elevate Your RF Workflow?

Stop letting phase noise and slow equipment bottleneck your innovation. Whether you are working at 26.5 GHz or pushing the limits at 40 GHz, the AnaPico AP5000 series provides the reliability Keysight is known for with the specialized agility of AnaPico engineering.
