ESA-L series features and benefits
4-ms 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 (GPIB)* Fast processing helps reduce measurement time in ATE environments (optional).
Fully synthesized design Provides continuously phase-locked precision throughout the entire sweep. Improves
frequency accuracy, stability, and measurement repeatability, eliminating drift.
Amplitude correction Calibrates out frequency-related amplitude effects with built-in amplitude correction.
Automatic background alignment Continuously calibrates the analyzer. Guarantees repeatability over changing temperatures.
85-dB calibrated display range Allows simultaneous display of large and small signals.
Built-in tracking generator* Combines spectrum and scalar test capability in a single instrument (optional). Synthesized
design eliminates tracking drift (E4411B only). One-button normalize function for quick setup.
5-dB step attenuator Optimizes distortion-free dynamic range.
Built-in frequency counter With 1-Hz resolution, minimizes the need for an external frequency counter.
Fast warm-up Provides full measurement accuracy after just five minutes.
Snap-on battery* Eliminates the restrictions of power cords.
Rubber-encased front and rear frames Provides impact protection in the field.
Rain-resistant front panel Combined with louvered air vents, allows operation in diverse weather conditions.
12-Vdc power cable* Allows direct operation from automotive and truck batteries.
Large, monochrome VGA display 16.8 cm, high-resolution VGA monochrome display with wide viewing angle makes detailed
with output observations easy. Includes 15-pin VGA rear output connector for external monitor.
Parallel port* Supports output to the most popular printers (optional).
Disk drive Makes saving and moving measurement results to your PC quick and easy.
One-button measurements Save set-up and measurement time with adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth,
channel power, peaks table, and harmonics table features.
AM demodulation Combines with the built-in speaker for tune and listen applications.
200 trace or instrument state files Provides internal storage of measurement data and setups for future analysis or comparison.
Marker functions Provides digital resolution of measurement details through peak search, delta markers,
marker table and carrier-to-noise ratio. Signal track keeps unstable signals centered on the
screen while band power calculates total power between user-defined limits.
Softkey/hardkey interface Provides a simple user interface while retaining access to sophisticated features.
Built-in help button with function display Eliminates carrying manuals into the field to determine keypad and softkey functions.
Limit lines Built-in-limit lines and pass/fail messages simplify testing.
Built-in clock/calendar Provides storage of time stamps and printed data.
Automatic overload protection Protects RF input from overly large signals (only available on the 1.5 GHz E4411B).
Automatic printer setup Identifies connected printer models automatically.

For higher performance requirements, Agilent also offers the ESA-E series of spectrum analyzers. With its cardcage architecture, the
ESA-E series is an investment in a flexible platform and a wider range of options, such as narrow-resolution bandwidth filters for viewing
closely spaced signals and a built-in high-gain, low-noise preamplifier for better sensitivity measurements. For more information, order the
ESA family literature shown on page 13.
* These options are available for an additional charge.
