Agilent 8593E Spectrum Analyzer 9 kHz - 22 GHz

Description

The 8590 Series offers a wide range of performance, features, and optional capability to meet your measurement needs. Standard models offer RBW from 1 kHz to 3 MHz and amplitude as low as -115 dBm to +30 dBm, optionally down to 30 Hz RBW & -130 dBm. One-button measurement routines include FFT, ACP and TOI. Optional personality cards support applications like CATV, component test, EMC, light wave, and wireless communications.

Available instrument options include HP-IB or RS-232 ports with a parallel printer port, tracking generator, narrow RBW, time-gated spectrum analysis, AM/FM demodulation, quasi-peak detector, digital demodulation, and more.

Features

One-button measurements

Adjacent channel power Measures the adjacent channel power ratio in dB of the upper and lower adjacent channels.
Channel power Measures the total power in a specified bandwidth.
Occupied bandwidth Measures the 99.99% to 1% power bandwidth of a spectrum.
Third-order intercept calculates the TOI of a distortion product.
Percent AM Calculates the percent AM from the measured sidebands and fundamental.
N dB points Measures the -1 to -80 dB bandwidth of the largest signal onscreen.

Advanced functions
