1. The 8560EC/61EC/62EC/63EC have been discontinued. The recommended replacements are the Agilent X-Series signal analyzers. Visit www.agilent.com/find/856x_to_X-Series for detailed information regarding the 856x migration to the X-Series.
The Agilent 8560 EC Series spectrum analyzers have a color display, offer standard digitized fast time domain sweeps (Option 856xE-007 on the 8560 E Series), and are Class 3 MIL-rugged. The 8560 EC Series is identical to the 8560E Series in all other respects.
Frequency Specifications, Agilent 8560 EC Series
Unless noted, all specifications describe the instrument’s warranted performance under the following conditions: 5-minute warm-up from ambient conditions, autocoupled controls, digital display, IF A DJ ON, REF LVL CAL adjusted, SECOND IF OUTPUT and 1ST LO OUT PUT terminated in 50 Ω. After a 30-minute warm-up, and over a temperature range of 20 °C to 30 °C, the preselector does not have to be peaked at each signal of interest; under these conditions factory preselector peak values are sufficient to meet all specifications. Typical performance is non-warranted. Supplemental characteristics are denoted by “nominal” and “approximately”; these constitute non-warranted functional performance information derived during the design process and are not tested on a continuing basis.
