S970906B Spectrum Analysis for P50xxB up to 32 GHz
Add spectrum analysis to your P50xxB Streamline series vector network analyzer.
The S970906B spectrum analysis adds high-performance analysis to the P5006B and P5026B Streamline Series Vector Network Analyzers (VNA). With fast stepped-FFT sweeps resulting from optimized data processing, the SA application provides quick spurious searches over a broad frequency range. Make simultaneous spectrum measurements using multiple test and reference receivers.
Increase the efficiency of spurious signals measurements emanating from mixers and frequency converters using the multi-channel SA with internal swept-signal generators. The SA application employs source-power and receiver-response calibration and fixture de-embedding for in-fixture and on-wafer spectrum measurements with the highest level of accuracy.
Achieve accurate and fast noise power ratio (NPR) measurements by setting up and controlling external signal generator/arbitrary waveform generators and calibrating the flatness of a wideband signal and distortion signals in notches.
The installed SA license or the stop frequency of the instrument, whichever is smaller, determines the upper-frequency range of the SA application.
