What it is

The Agilent N 9030 A PXA X-Series Signal Analyzer covers frequency ranges from 3 Hz up to 3.6, 8.4, 13.6, 26.5, 43, 44, or 50 GHz depending on the selected option.^[1]^[2]

How it works

The N 9030 A uses a precision frequency reference with an aging rate of ± 1 × 10⁻⁷ per year and temperature stability of ± 1.5 × 10⁻⁸ over 20 to 30 °C.^[1]

Applications

Signal analyzers are applied to the measurement of signal power, frequency, modulation quality, and distortion. The N 9030 A is suited for demanding applications in aerospace, defense, and commercial communications. The N 9030 A can measure channel power, adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, harmonic distortion, intermodulation, and burst power. The N 9030 A can perform spurious emission and spectrum emission mask testing.^[1]^[2]
