Frequency Accuracy with Built-In Frequency Counter
With the 8590L and 8594L you get ±7.6 kHz marker count accuracy at 1 GHz. And with the 8592L you get ±165 kHz at 22 GHz. At lower fre­quencies you achieve even greater accuracy.
Additional Features and Options
Whether you operate the analyzer manually or remotely, more than 200 functions are available. The Agilent 8590L-Series gives you a full set of marker funtions including marker delta, marker peak search, and up to four on-screen markers. Time and
date functions are useful for unat­tended operation and for data storage or output labels.
Data storage can be to internal mem­ory, where over 50 traces and states may be saved, or to memory cards through the optional memory-card reader. Data can be directly output to a printer or plotter through the optional GPIB, RS-232, or parallel printer interfaces.
Built-in Measurement Capability
Third-order intercept, percent AM, and “N” dB bandwidth are just a few of the built-in measurements. These measurements are performed at the press of a single softkey. Results are displayed onscreen. And the down­loadable program (DLP) capability lets you write your own built-in meas­urements using the DLP editor and an external keyboard.
Economical and Reliable Solutions with Frequency Accuracy
When you need a full-featured, frequency-accurate RF or microwave spectrum analyzer to meet your field or factory testing requirements, the Agilent Technologies 8590L-Series gives you the features and options you need to get the job done. Reliable and economical, the 8590L operates from 9 kHz to 1.8 GHz with an amplitude range of –115 dBm to +30 dBm; the 8592L operates from 9 kHz to 22 GHz (26.5 GHz optionally) with preselection starting at 2.75 GHz and an amplitude range of –114 dBm to +30 dBm.
The 8590L-Series now includes the 8594L for reliable and economical performance from 9 kHz to 2.9 GHz with an amplitude range of –112 dBm to +30 dBm.

Measurement Personalities
Measurement personalities are appli­cation-specific DLPs that are loaded into the analyzer through the optional card reader. They provide measure­ment routines and a user-interface specific to the application. A scalar measure-ments personality cus­tomizes the 8590L with optional built­in 1.8 GHz tracking generator, and a cable TV measurements person-ality equips the 8590L-Series with one-but­ton RF measurements for CATV serv­ice and system monitoring.
Agilent 8590E Series Spectrum Analyzers
If you need higher performance, more features, a wider range of options and upgrade capabilities, or additional application-based measurement per­sonalities than the 8590L-series pro­vides, please contact your local Agilent Technologies sales office for information on the 8590E-series of portable spectrum analyzers.
MIL-T-28800 Conformance
The 8590 series spectrum analyzers conform to the environ-mental specifi­cations of MIL-T-28800 class 5 to insure reliable and accurate perform­ance in portable environments as well as indoors. Compliance with the MIL-T-28800 standards of vibration, tempera-ture, humidity, and shock pro­vide assurance that the 8590 series will withstand the rigors of field use.
