PXA signal analyzers are ideally suited for high-performance research and development (R&D) applications in aerospace/defense and commercial wireless communications. The PXA analyzes signals over wider bandwidths, reduces measurement uncertainty, and reveals previously hidden signals with noise floor extension (NFE). Unravel complex signals through the PXA’s broad set of measurement applications and demodulation capabilities or add real-time spectrum analysis capabilities with an upgradeable option.
The N9030B PXA X-Series signal analyzer offers RF, uW and millimeter frequency ranges for quick, easy performance of diverse noise measurements such as noise figure, phase noise, and spur search (sensitivity). With performance that beats the competition, and the largest suite of measurement applications across technologies and industries, the PXA is the signal (spectrum) analyzer of choice for RF, uW, millimeter wave and digital signal analysis.
Analyze the latest signals with up to 510 MHz analysis bandwidth and better than 70 dB SFDR, and reveal previously hidden signals with Noise Floor Extension (NFE). To see your devices true behavior, get industry-leading phase noise performance by adding the Keysight-proprietary DDS-based LO.
