Agilent Introduces Basic Spectrum Analyzer
December 3, 2012. Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced a new basic spectrum analyzer for budget-constrained applications including those found in R&D, manufacturing, maintenance, education, spectrum management, and bench repair.
“To protect profitability, increasing productivity on a smaller budget is a growing imperative. In response to this market need, our new basic spectrum analyzer is rich in features and value- priced,” said Brian LeMay, general manager of Agilent’s Chengdu Instruments Division. “Plus, value-added options like channel scanner, tracking generator and time-gated spectrum analysis allow the unit’s capabilities to change to keep pace with industry dynamics.”
The Agilent N9322C basic spectrum analyzer operates from 9 kHz to 7 GHz. Features include a typical -152-dBm DANL for viewing low-level signals easily and clearly; ±0.1 ppm annual aging rate, which reduces frequency drift for more accurate measurements; one-button PowerSuite operation (CHP, OBW, ACPR, SEM, and spectrogram), which makes power measurements and signal monitoring simple and intuitive; optional 7-GHz tracking generator with built-in VSWR bridge, which supports transmission and reflection measurements; demodulation mode to easily and cost-effectively gain more insight into AM, FM, ASK, and FSK signal analysis; and even user-definable soft keys, which provide quick access to seven of the most frequently used measurement setups, making it easy to switch from one task to another.
Price starts at $11,413. The N9322C tracking generator option (TG7) starts at $2,484.
