Agilent / HP / Keysight 8561E
8561E Portable Spectrum Analyzer, 30 Hz to 6.5 GHz
Description
The Agilent 8561E portable RF spectrum analyzer offers the measurement capability and performance previously found in larger, more expensive benchtop analyzers.
This analyzer combines outstanding phase noise, sensitivity, 1 Hz resolution bandwidths, synthesized tuning and wide dynamic range in a MIL-rugged package built to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
It offers a complete solution for adjacent-channel power (ACP) testing of burst carrier signals using digital modulation, and the ability to measure occupied bandwidth percentage.
Key Points
Continuous 30 Hz to 6.5GHz sweep
Fast digital resolution bandwidths of 1, 3, 10, 30 and 100 Hz
Adjacent channel power, channel power, carrier power, occupied bandwidth percentage and time-gated measurements standard
Precision timebase and 1 Hz counter resolution
MIL-T-28800 rugged
Measurement personalities for digital radio and phase noise measurements
