Master the essentials
A great low-cost signal analyzer surpasses the basics and
delivers crucial functionality.
That’s the strength of the CXA
signal analyzer, the leading
low-cost tool for essential
signal characterization. Its
capabilities provide a foundation
for cost-effective testing and
seamless integration with the
other X-Series models. The CXA
is also an excellent teaching
tool for RF and microwave technologies and signal analysis.
Get must-have capability with
X-Series expandability in the
CXA–and master the essentials.

Definitions and Conditions
Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product
warranty and apply to temperature ranges 5 to 50 °C, unless otherwise noted.
95th percentile values indicate the breadth of the population (approx. 2 σ) of
performance tolerances expected to be met in 95 percent of the cases with a 95
percent confidence, for any ambient temperature in the range of 20 to 30 °C. In
addition to the statistical observations of a sample of instruments, these values
include the effects of the uncertainties of external calibration references. These
values are not warranted. These values are updated occasionally if a significant
change in the statistically observed behavior of production instruments is
observed.
Typical describes additional product performance information that is not covered
by the product warranty. It is performance beyond specifications that 80 percent
of the units exhibit with a 95 percent confidence level over the temperature
range 20 to 30 °C. Typical performance does not include measurement uncertainty.
Nominal values indicate expected performance, or describe product performance
that is useful in the application of the product, but are not covered by the
product warranty.
The analyzer will meet its specifications when:

This CXA signal analyzer data
sheet is a summary of the
complete specifications and
conditions for N9000A CXA signal
analyzers (including N9000AEP
Express CXA signal analyzers),
which are available in the CXA
Signal Analyzer Specification
Guide. The CXA Signal Analyzer

Configuration Guide
(5990-4341EN).
• It is within its calibration cycle
• Under auto couple control, except when Auto Sweep Time Rules = Accy
• The analyzer has been stored at an ambient temperature within the allowed
operating range for at least two hours before being turned on; if it had previously been stored at a temperature range inside the allowed storage range,
but outside the allowed operating range
• The analyzer has been turned on at least 30 minutes with Auto Align set to
normal, or, if Auto Align is set to off or partial, alignments must have been
run recently enough to prevent an Alert message; if the Alert condition is
changed from Time and Temperature to one of the disabled duration choices,
the analyzer may fail to meet specifications without informing the user
