If it is made up from PIN diodes, I wonder what the logic of Agilent letting you read the number of times they have switched? The sig gen I have, which I mentioned on the HP forum earlier, but was not sure of the number, is an HP 8665A. I paid about £700 (GBP) for that about a year ago, and being a late firmware version, goes to 4.5 GHz, although its performance is only specified to 4.2 GHz. BUT I do have an attenuator issue on that!!! They are clearly mechanical and some changes of output level do not occur correctly.
