Agilent Technologies expands measurement range of spectrum analyzers

Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced an enhancement to its PSA Series high-performance spectrum analyzers that increases their measurement frequency range from 50 GHz to as high as 325 GHz with the use of external mixers. The extended frequency range of the PSA Series aims to give designers of radar, electronic warfare, satellite and terrestrial communications, and other systems a cost-effective solution for performing signal analysis at extremely high frequencies.The enhancement (Option AYZ) for the PSA Series includes software that maintains all the high-performance capabilities of the PSA Series and takes advantage of external mixers from Agilent with coverage to 110 GHz, as well as from third-party mixer suppliers that offer coverage to 325 GHz.Option AYZ is available for the Agilent E4440A, E4446A, and E4448A PSA Series spectrum analyzers. Upgrade kits are available for PSA Series instruments already in service as a cost-effective way to extend their frequency range.Source: PCBnewsline
