The Agilent 8560EC offers the measurement capability and performance previously found in larger, more expensive benchtop analyzers. The Agilent 8560EC combines outstanding phase noise, sensitivity, 1 Hz resolution bandwidths, synthesized tuning and wide dynamic range in a package built to withstand environmental conditions. The 8560EC offers a complete solution for adjacent-channel power (ACP) testing of burst carrier signals using digital modulation, and the ability to measure occupied bandwidth percentage.

Capabilities for RF Communications
The ability to measure adjacent channel power (ACP) on today’s wireless telephones, pagers and other transmitters is critical in both R & D and manufacturing. The 8560EC series spectrum analyzers offer a complete solution for ACP testing of burst carrier signals using digital modulation such as is used in NADC-TDMA, GSM, DECT, CT2 -CAI, PDC and PHS systems. Many of the implementation difficulties of the established standards have been addressed, providing fast, accurate and easy-to-use ACP measurement capability. Measure W-CDMA adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) with a dynamic range of at least 70 dB using the 8563EC Option E35 ACPR test set.

Another standard feature is the ability to measure from .10 to 99.99 percent occupied bandwidth.

Time-gated signal analysis is another standard feature that allows you to easily measure time-varying signals such as pulsed RF, time-division multiple access (TDMA), interleaved and burst-modulated.

The 85902 A burst carrier trigger can supply a TTL trigger signal. 8560EC series specifications have been enhanced. Now, you can get better phase noise, sensitivity, dynamic range and frequency response from this high performance portable spectrum analyzer family.

The 8562EC spectrum analyzer provides a 13.2 GHz frequency range with increased dynamic range and third-order intercept (TOI) capability. This allows wireless communications engineers to test high-performance components in burst operation systems.

With the 85672A spurious response measurements utility, you can use 8560EC series spectrum analyzers to make fast and easy spurious response tests.
