ESA-E Series Portable Spectrum Analyzers

Features

• third order intercept: +12.5 dB

• ACPR 1st offset dynamic range: –67 dBc

• average displayed noise level: –153 dBm

• EVM modulation analysis

• 2G/3G multi-format RF power measurements

• flexible platform

• frequency coverage to 26.5 GHz

• seven measurement personalities

The Agilent ESA-E series spectrum analyzers with the
modulation analysis measurement personality provide
the flexibility of general-purpose spectrum analysis
combined with the numerical and visual tools to help
you quickly identify and quantify impairments to
digitally modulated signals for all major cellular
standards. Essentially, the ESA-E now provides you
with spectrum and vector measurements in one tool,
thus reducing your need for additional equipment,
preserving measurement accuracy, and minimizing
system development time.

The Agilent ESA-E series also offer quick and easy-to­use RF power measurements for all major 2G and 3G
standards. The primary applications for the RF power
measurements include handset power-amplifier
research and development and base-station power­amplifier manufacturing in the 2G and 3G cellular

communications industry. The ESA offers one-button,
format-specific setups including, channel power, occu­pied bandwidth, multi-offset ACPR, CCDF, harmonic
distortion and burst power measurements.

The ESA-E offers the most expandable, most rugged
platform available, and can tailor a spectrum analyzer
to customers’ specific needs – with the market’s most
scalable price and performance. The ESA-E series
spectrum analyzer with seven measurement personali­ties (GSM/GPRS, cdmaOne, Bluetooth, modulation
analysis, phase noise, cable fault location and CATV)
represents an excellent-value, mid-performance spec­trum analyzer with enough vector analysis to provide
the configuration flexibility to ensure customers’ prod­ucts are brought to market quickly, at the lowest price.

E4991A RF Impedance/Material Analyzer

Features

• basic accuracy ±0.8%

• 3GHz impedance direct read-out

• Windows-styled user interface

• sweep parameters (frequency, ac level, dc bias)

• built-in VBA programming function

• various test fixture for components

• data transfer through the LAN interface

• direct read-out permittivity, permeability [option]

• reliable on-wafer measurement [option]

The new Agilent E4991A RF impedance/material ana­lyzer offers ultimate impedance measurement perform­ance and powerful built-in analysis function. It will
provide innovations in R&D of components and circuit
designers who evaluate components in the range of
3 GHz. The E4991A uses an RF-IV technique, as
opposed to the reflection measurement technique,

for more accurate impedance measurement over wide
impedance range. Basic impedance accuracy is ±0.8%.
High Q accuracy enables low-loss component analysis.
The internal synthesizer sweeps frequency from 1 MHz
to 3 GHz with 1 MHz resolution.
