Aimed at advanced RF and microwave applications, the N9030A PXA signal analyzer from Agilent Technologies provides frequency coverage up to 26.5 GHz and flexibility through optional measurement capabilities and hardware expandability. The analyzer also includes extensive code-compatibility features that make existing Agilent or Hewlett-Packard signal analyzers easier to replace.
The PXA is the flagship of the Agilent X-Series of signal analyzers, delivering performance that reduces measurement uncertainty and reveals greater levels of signal detail, starting with a spurious-free dynamic range of up to 75 dB at a 140-MHz analysis bandwidth. Other specifications include phase noise of –128 dBc/Hz at a10-kHz offset (1 GHz), absolute amplitude accuracy of 0.19 dB, and sensitivity of –172 dBm DANL (displayed average noise level) at 2 GHz (with preamplifier and noise floor extension).
In addition to built-in one-button measurements, the PXA leverages the library of X-Series measurement applications to ensure consistent results when transitioning from legacy or current-generation analyzers. The applications are also transportable across many of the Agilent X-Series instruments, including the PXA, MXA, EXA, and CXA signal analyzers. What's more, Agilent's 89600 VSA (vector signal analysis) software can run inside the PXA, providing analysis of more than 70 demodulation formats.
For those looking to refresh or replace existing test systems, the PXA is a form, fit, and function replacement for a variety of widely used spectrum analyzers: HP 8566 and 8568; HP/Agilent 856x; and Agilent PSA (up to 26.5 GHz). Key features include code compatibility; emulation of remote programming language; default settings, timings and couplings; arbitrary and second IF output; fast-risetime logarithmic video output; and Y-axis output.
Base prices range from $51,900 for the N9030A-503 (3.6 GHz) to $66,300 for the N9030A-526 (26.5 GHz). Individual models cover frequency ranges of 3 Hz to 3.6 GHz, 8.4 GHz, 13.6 GHz, and 26.5 GHz.
