Keysight N9912A (Agilent) - Comprehensive RF Analysis Solution
The Keysight N9912A FieldFox RF Analyzer stands out as an all-in-one, handheld instrument designed for efficient wireless network installation and maintenance. With its lightweight design at just 6 lbs, it incorporates seven versatile functions that cater to a wide range of RF analysis needs. One of the remarkable features is the ability to expand functionality post-purchase through software licensing, allowing you to make enhancements without any hardware upgrades.
Key Measurements Include:
- Cable and antenna testing, including return loss, one-port cable loss, distance-to-fault, line sweeping, and VSWR.
- Vector network analysis with S11 magnitude, phase, and Smith Chart functionality.
- Spectrum analysis featuring preamplification, channel power measurement, occupied bandwidth, adjacent channel power ratio, field strength assessment, and antenna isolation.
- Interference analysis with trace recording and playback capabilities.
- Independent signal sources offering continuous wave (CW) and swept tracking generator functions.
- Cable trimming facilitated with a vector voltmeter.
- Power measurements using a USB power sensor.
- Accurate timestamping of measurements with GPS latitude and longitude data.
