Spectrum Analyzers Bring Power To RF And Microwave Signal Tasks

July 22, 2002

High speed, accuracy, dynamic range, and sensitivity are all hallmarks of a pair of spectrum analyzers for measuring complex RF, microwave, and millimeter wave signals. The E4448A enables users to design and test integrated systems and perform depot-level testing at up to 50 GHz, while the E4446A is a 44-GHz model with an intuitive interface and one-button measurement capability. Both meet the latest requirements of today's communications formats, including 1xEV-DO, W-CDMA, cdma2000, GSM/EDGE, CDMA, and NADC/PDC. Features include limit lines and an amplitude correction factor as well as the ability to control the step attenuator and built-in preamplifier while in the application. Prices are $68,000 for the E4446A and $79,000 for the E4448A. Delivery is 12 weeks from order date.
