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
