Product Description:

Agilent Technologies, Inc. 8591C 50to 1002 MHz Cable TV Analyzer

The Agilent Technologies, Inc. 8591C spectrum analyzer is a wide band, very sensitive receiver. It works on the principle of "super-heterodyne receiver" to convert higher frequencies (normally ranging up to several 10s of GHz) to measurable quantities. The received frequency spectrum is slowly swept through a range of pre-selected frequencies, converting the selected frequency to a measurable DC level (usually logarithmic scale), and displaying the same on the CRT of the Agilent Technologies, Inc. 8591C. The CRT displays received signal strength (y-axis) against frequency ( x-axis).

Some applications for Agilent Technologies, Inc. 8591C Spectrum Analyzers include Site Monitoring: Verify that the frequency and signal strength of your transmitter is accurate. Interference: Before a system is installed you use a Agilent Technologies, Inc. 8591C spectrum analyzer to verify that the frequencies (you plan to use) are not occupied or if the presence of a very strong signal will interfere with your new setup. Interference can be created by a number of different situations. Other tests that utilize the Agilent Technologies, Inc. 8591C spectrum analyzer features include antenna isolation, co-channel interference, adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, intermodulation, microwave or satellite antenna alignment, and characterization of components.

Feature:
Minimum Frequency: 5MHz
Maximum Frequency: 1002MHz

The HP 8591C is the industry's only one-box tester for all RF and video measurements. With this analyzer you can make RF and video measurements without interrupting your cable TV system. The HP 8591C is both a flexible troubleshooting tool and an automatic system tester. Non-interfering measurements are performed at the push of a butoon and can be made automatically. The flexible hardware and software design lets you easily upgrade the analyzer to accommodate changes in required measurements and measurement techniques. For added flexibility, NTSC format is standard, with options available for worldwide PAL and SECAM fromats and frequency plans.
