HP Agilent Keysight 8564E Portable Spectrum Analyzer

The 8564E Portable Spectrum Analyzer by HP Agilent Keysight covers a frequency range extending from 30 Hz to 40 GHz, a displayed average noise level of <90 dBm at 30 Hz, digital resolution bandwidths of 1, 3, 10, 30, and 100 Hz, and a dynamic range of >145 dB. This model has an RF input APC 2.4 mm male connector on the front panel. This Portable Spectrum Analyzer provides the user with an ideal model for adjacent-channel power (ACP) analysis of burst carrier signals by utilizing digital modulation and measuring occupied bandwidth percentage. The 8564E matches the measurement abilities and power of bigger, more costly benchtop analyzers.

The 8564E Portable Spectrum Analyzer has a monochrome CRT display with the ability to change the intensity and focus. Unlike the EC-Series of Spectrum Analyzers, this model uses a high-voltage module (HVM) to provide power to the CRT. It can be found within the power supply.

Many options are available to extend the capabilities of the 8564E. Option 001 gives an additional IF output to the 8564E and increases the performance. Option 007 offers an FADC feature, which is accessed through the A16 FADC board. This feature allows the user to look at displays with swift sweep times, ranging from 30 ms and 50 μs. Option 007 will also cause the delay time to experience as much as ±83 ns of jitter because of synchronization of the input edge trigger to the interior timebase of 12 MHz.

The HP Agilent Keysight 8564E Portable Spectrum Analyzer has a user manual available on the apexwaves.com website with more information regarding its specifications and measurement capabilities.
