Product Description:
Agilent Technologies, Inc. E4446A PSA spectrum analyzer 3 Hz - 44 GHz
The Agilent Technologies, Inc. E4446A 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. E4446A. The CRT displays received signal strength (y-axis) against frequency ( x-axis).
Some applications for Agilent Technologies, Inc. E4446A 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. E4446A 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. E4446A spectrum analyzer features include antenna isolation, co-channel interference, adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, intermodulation, microwave or satellite antenna alignment, and characterization of components.

Description
E4446A PSA high-performance spectrum analyzer measures and monitors complex RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave signals up to 44 GHz. With optional external mixing, the frequency coverage extends to 110 GHz with our external mixer, and to 325 GHz with other vendors' mixers.
Migration from PSA to PXA:
The PXA N9030A, Agilents next-generation high-performance signal analyzer, combines the PSAs technical excellence with state-of-the-art technologies, making it a logical form-fit-functional replacement for the PSA. The new PXA N9030A offers greater performance, wider analysis bandwidth, and more powerful connectivity.
Why migrate from the PSA to the PXA?
