There are a couple of ways to skin this cat , you can shoot a email to Keysight asking if they can provide you with some information on G20 , whether you get a response depends on the rep who gets a hold of your email and whether or not the option is protected
?! HP made custom options on customer request those included usually modifying specifications and/or grouping different options together for defense customers usually the letter H was used while large commercial clients the letter C was used , sometimes a
option was made for one specific customer only and this included a NDA by HP not to disclose any information about the option to third parties without authorization by the client if G20 was such a option than Keysight will be tight lipped unless the customer
no longer exists or the NDA expired!
Another way would be to go into the system or service menu and find the option information in there , unfortunately HP never been consistent about this so some models have the options listed others dont but it¡¯s worth a try?

I have an HP 8648D signal generator that says "Option G20" on the rear label, By pushing various buttons, I've found that this option seems to include at least the modulation generator (option 1E2) and pulse modulation (option 1E6).
It does not seem to have the high power output (option 1EA) since I can't set the output power any higher than +14.5 dBm, although +14.5 dBm is still higher than the specs for the standard instrument (up to 2500 MHz, max amplitude is +13 dBm, above 2500 MHz,
max power is +10 dBm)..
This model is not eligible to have the pager option (option 1EP).
What I'd really like to find out is if option G20 also incorporates the high stability timebase (option 1E5). I don't want to break the cal seals to open it up and have a look, so I was hoping someone on this list might know.
Thanks,
Stan
