ESA-E Series Spectrum Analyzer
Configuration Guide
Introduction
This ESA configuration guide will help you determine
which performance options, measurement personalities,
accessories, and services to include in your new ESA-E,
or to add as upgrades to an existing ESA-E.
Options for the EXA X-Series signal analyzer are shown
alongside the ESA to help cutomers who wish to migrate to
the latest technology. Customers looking for increased speed,
more application options, or modern connectivity
will benefit by moving to the EXA signal analyzer.
Keysight ESA-E Spectrum Analyzer
This step-by-step guide will help you configure your ESA-E.
Capabilities that are listed as standard come with the
instrument at no additional charge. Tailor the performance,
exterior, and service packages to meet your requirements.
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. ESA-E spectrum analyzer is
available in three express configurations: standard (STD/
STG) or communications test (COM). The express analyzers
offer faster deliver y by limiting the number of options that
can be ordered together. The custom configuration allows
for maximum flexibility in ordering the analyzer that best
meets your needs by offering all of the ESA-E options;
however, it increases the delivery timeframe.
For detailed specifications, refer to the ESA-E Spectrum
Analyzer specification guide (E4401-90490). For a summary
of specifications, refer to the ESA-E data sheet, literature
number 5989-9815EN.

Step 3. Choose frequency reference
Description ESA-E spectrum analyzer EXA signal analyzer
Frequency reference (standard aging rate) ±2 x 10–6 / year ±1 x 10–6 / year
High-stability frequency reference
(reduces frequency drift resulting in more
accurate measurements; recommended option)
Option 1D5
Aging rate: ±1 x 10–7 / year
N9010A-PFR
Aging rate: ±1 x 10–7 / year
Step 4. Choose an attenuator
Description ESA-E spectrum analyzer EXA signal analyzer
Mechanical attenuator (standard) 5 dB steps, 0 to 60 dB 10 dB steps, 0 to 60 dB
Fine-step mechanical attenuator Not available N9010A-FSA
Allows 2 dB steps for the full 60 dB range of the mechanical
attenuator
Electronic at tenuator up to 3.6 GHz Not available N9010A-EA3
Add to the mechanical attenuator; 1 dB steps, 0 to 24 dB
