The Agilent/HP 8590L is a low cost, but full-featured, frequency accurate RF spectrum analyzer designed to meet your general purpose measurement needs. The easy-to-use interface provides access to more than 200 built-in functions.
Key Specifications:
• Frequency counter: Eliminate the need for a
separate frequency counter with the built-in
frequency counter-with ±2.1 kHz accuracy at 1
GHz (±7.6 kHz from 0 to 50 °C)
• Multiple resolution bandwidth filters: Optimize
the tradeoffs of speed, sensitivity and the
separation of closely spaced signals with your
choice of 10 resolution bandwidth filters
beginning at 1 kHz
• 145 dB amplitude measurement range:
Measure signals directly with -115 dBm to +30
dBm amplitude measurement range
• One-button measurement routines: Save time,
setup, and training with one button
measurement routines such as Adjacent
Channel Power, signal bandwidth and Third
Order Intercept (TOI)
• Phase noise of 105 dBc/Hz at 30 kHz offset:
Uncover small signals close to carriers with an
internal phase noise that will not get in your
way
• Dual interfaces: Operate remotely and print
directly with the optional dual interfaces that
combine either an GP-IB or RS-232 port with a
parallel (Centronics) port
• Built-in tracking generator: Measure the scalar
characteristics of your components with the
optional built-in tracking generator and the
Agilent 85714A scalar measurements
