Technical Overview
Take an innovative approach to
evaluating electronic components
and circuits. The Agilent Technologies
combination analyzers family combines
three analyzer functions in one
powerful instrument: a vector network
analyzer, a spectrum analyzer, and
an optional impedance analyzer.
Now you can use one analyzer for
multiple testing needs.
Because many electronic components
such as amplifiers require both vector
network and spectrum parameters, you
need a combination analyzer to meet
new testing requirements such as:
• Measuring intermodulation
distortion and phase performance
of components used in digital
communication systems.
• Characterizing monolithic IC’s or
circuit blocks.
Compared with using separate
analyzers, you save equipment
cost and bench space with the
Agilent 4395A/96B, and avoid
time-consuming and messy signal
cabling to multiple instruments.

In the lab, evaluate your designs
completely and accurately with one
instrument. The Agilent 4395A and
the Agilent 4396B reduce learning
and testing time so you get precision
measurements with improved
efficiency.
On the production line, increase your
throughput with the combination
analyzer. A combination analyzer
makes it faster and easier to switch
between different types of tests.
You can optimize production testing
with these capabilities:
• High test speed for vector network
analysis
• Fast narrow-band spectrum
analysis with stepped FFT
• List sweep
• Limit lines
• Test automation with built-in IBASIC
The analyzer’s small footprint
saves valuable bench space in any
environment.
The Agilent combination analyzers
family, a full-capability combination
analyzer, makes no trade-offs among
vector network, spectrum, and impedance performance. The spectrum
analyzer function is based on digital
signal processing (DSP) technology to
speed measurement computation. It
is a breakthrough in test instruments,
giving you outstanding performance
at an attractive price.
