Agilent 8590 E-Series
Portable Spectrum Analyzers
Data Sheet
These specifications apply to the Agilent Technologies 8591E, 8593E, 8594E, 8595E, and 8596E spectrum analyzers.
Specifications
All specifications apply over O°C to +55°C. The analyzer will meet its specifications after 2 hours of storage at a constant temperature, within the operating temperature range, 30 minutes after the analyzer is tumed on, and after CAL FREQ and CAL AMPTD (and for the 8593E, 8595E, and 8596E CAL YTF) have been run.
