Comparison of Agilent Spectrum Analysers

Agilent Technologies Spectrum Analyzers

 


 

From DC to 325 GHz, choose from a growing selection of spectrum analyzer measurement capabilities. With the push of a button you can analyze distortion, spurious signals, phase noise, noise figure, and 2G and 3G wireless communication formats with either bench-top or portable spectrum analyzers. Combine flexible modulation analysis software with spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers or oscilloscopes to demodulate standard and non-standard digital signals. You can also add spectrum analyzer software to achieve remote spectrum analysis.
