Keysight / Agilent N9960A Handheld Microwave Spectrum Analyzer
The Keysight N9960A is a state-of-the-art handheld microwave spectrum analyzer designed for professionals working in microwave, radar, satellite communications, and commercial microwave backhaul. With its exceptional capabilities, the N9960A is optimized to perform even in the most dynamic spectral environments, enabling users to tackle challenging measurements with confidence.
This versatile spectrum analyzer delivers superior performance, featuring a dynamic range with a third-order intercept (TOI) greater than +15 dBm and an impressive phase noise of -111 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset. Such specifications make it easier for users to detect low-level signals amidst strong signal conditions or identify close-in small interference signals. Fast sweep times enhance the analyzer's efficiency, allowing for timely and accurate measurements.
One of the standout features of the Keysight N9960A is its unique InstAlign capability. This innovative technology ensures that internal amplitude alignments occur automatically as environmental conditions change, providing users with unprecedented amplitude accuracy of ±0.5 dB for both spectrum analysis and power measurements. The analyzer also includes a spectrum analyzer IF output with a 25 MHz bandwidth, allowing it to function effectively as a frequency downconverter.
For even deeper signal analysis, the N9960A can connect seamlessly to external test equipment such as real-time oscilloscopes or VSAs (Vector Signal Analyzers). It is also compatible with the 89600 VSA software via Ethernet, facilitating advanced analysis on a Windows-based PC or tablet.
