Product Overview
The N9042B Signal Analyzer sets a new level of performance for high frequency measurements. Frequency options up to 50 GHz cover the current 5GNR FR1 and FR2 bands, as well as most radar, EW, and satellite bands.
Analysis bandwidth can be configured to 1 GHz; 1.5 GHz, 2 GHz, 4 GHz; and even up to 11 GHz bandwidth using an external digitizer.
A completely new front end provides low noise performance and high-dynamic range, addressing applications in Tx test, such as EVM and other modulation quality tests – while also excelling at measurements of low-level and unknown signals.

The V3050A Frequency Extender can be combined with the N9042B, to extend the maximum frequency up to 110 GHz. The V3050A features a low-noise design for outstanding sensitivity; a preselector filterbank to eliminate image responses; fundamental mixing for high dynamic range; and a “remote head” form-factor that interfaces seamlessly to the N9042B. The N9042B supports the X-series family of multi-touch applications, as well as the 89600 VSA software. A new CPU performs compute-intensive measurements, such as demodulation and EVM, up to 40% faster than prior analyzers.
| V3050A Frequency Extender Option | |
| Option | Frequency Range |
| F06 | 50 GHz to 67 GHz |
| F09 | 50 GHz to 90 GHz* |
| F11 | 50 GHz to 110 GHz** |
Notes:
* Opt ion F09 conforms to limit ations governing export to restricted countries (does not require IVL ). When used for w ide-bandwidth analysis (IQ), the highest allowed frequency (at center of bandwidth) is reduced by ½ of the maximum bandw idth that is configured (optional licenses) for a given instrument. For example, with option R20 licensed (2 GHz analy sis bandwidth), the maximum center frequency allowed is 89 GHz.
** I VL required for export to restricted countries
