Your budget is
limited – your test
equipment doesn’t
have to be.
Now you can get the speed and
accuracy you need and still have
money left in your budget. HP ESA-L
series of portable spectrum analyzers
have a remarkable five-millisecond
full-span RF sweep time and virtual
real-time measurement updates to the
display or through HP-IB interface.
With excellent accuracy and easy,
reliable operation, the HP ESA-L
series is full of innovations, like a continuously phase-locked synthesizer,
all at a surprisingly low cost.

HP ESA-L series features and benefits
5-ms full-span RF sweep time Combined with 28 measurements per second, provides virtual real-time updates. Responsive
display makes circuit adjustment easier, while increasing the probability of intercepting
intermittent signals.
High-speed data transfer (HP-IB) Fast processing reduces measurement time in ATE environments (optional).
Fully synthesized design Provides continuously phase-locked precision throughout the entire sweep. Assures frequency
accuracy, stability, and measurement repeatability, eliminating drift.
Fast time-domain sweeps Sweeps as fast as 2 microseconds per division in zero span (optional).
