89600B VSA

See through the complexity

On the leading edge of wireless design, signal interactions

can cause the unexpected. Knowing there’s a problem is

relatively easy. Achieving the clarity to find the root cause

is the real challenge. Look to the Agilent 89600B vector

signal analysis (VSA) software: It’s your window into

what’s happening inside complex wireless devices. With

views of virtually every facet of a problem, our VSA tools

let you find the “why?” behind unexpected interactions.

Whether you’re working with emerging or established

standards, Agilent’s industry-leading VSA software helps

you see through the complexity.
