The 856xEC Series spectrum analyzers offer power measure-

ments for both continuous and burst signals that are accurate

and easy to make. Measurement capabilities includes adjacent

channel power (ACP), carrier power, channel power, and occupied

bandwidth. These analyzers provide great measurement flexibility

and RF performance, making them powerful spectrum analysis

tools for R&D engineers and field technicians working with

signals up to 50 GHz and beyond.

These spectrum analyzers combine outstanding phase noise,

sensitivity, 1 Hz resolution bandwidths, and wide dynamic range

in a Class 3 MIL-rugged package built to withstand harsh environ-

mental conditions.

Migrate to next-generation signal analyzers

Agilent offers the X-Series MXA N9020A signal analyzer for

customers looking for a fast midrange RF/MW spectrum analyzer

solution. It offers the N9061A remote language compatibility

application to ease the migration from 856xE/EC spectrum

analyzers.

Features

• Class 3 MIL-rugged, portable

• Resolution bandwidths of 1 Hz to 100 Hz digitally

implemented

• Best-in-class performance in phase noise

1. The RF and microwave models of the 856xEC Series

(8560/61/62/63EC) have been discontinued. The recommended

replacements are X-Series signal analyzers or the PSA spectrum

analyzer. Refer to www.agilent.com/ﬁ nd/8560 for “856xE/EC

migration assistance”.
