X-Series Signal Analyzers

N9030A PXA

The PXA signal analyzer, the highest-performance X-Series

signal analyzer, is the evolutionary replacement for other

performance signal analyzers. Advanced performance,

flexibility, capability and expandability enable the user to

address demanding applications in aerospace, defense,

commercial communications and more. In addition, the

PXA includes extensive remote language compatibility

features that make it easier to replace your existing perfor-

mance spectrum analyzers.

• Agilent's exclusive NFE technology delivers -172 dBm or

lower analyzer noise floor

• Best phase noise performance (-129 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz

offset) and third-order intercept (up to +23 dBm)

• Analyze the most complex signals with 140 MHz analy-

sis bandwidth offering up to 75 dBc SFDR

N9020A MXA

The mid-performance MXA is the ultimate accelerator

as products move from design to manufacturing to the

marketplace. Reuse of test code from development into

manufacturing, assures that trusted measurement algorithms

are used for the product’s entire development cycle and paral-

lel development in manufacturing and R&D facilitates faster

time-to-market.

• Up to 300% faster than other signal and spectrum analyzers

• Highest performance and accuracy in a midrange signal or

spectrum analyzer

• Up to 40 MHz analysis bandwidth
