This question should I thought be easy to answer by looking at some keysight service manuals, but they don't seem to be like the HP manuals of days gone by.... in fact they seem to say almost nothing about how the test gear works. Hopefully some engineers are curious enough to remove the covers?
Is the principal voltage controlled oscillator in microwave generators still the YIG tuned oscillator or has that gone the way of the BWO? In which case what has replaced it? Appreciate that the band which was easily attained directly has increased, but even the multiplier type generator tended to use a YIG tuned filter to pick the right harmonic.
