Agilent CXA Signal Analyzer

This step-by-step process will help you configure your CXA. 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. Ordering
optional capabilities at the time of purchase provides the lowest overall cost. For
detailed specifications, refer to the CXA Signal Analyzer Specification Guide,
(literature number N9000-90016). For a summary of specifications, refer to the
CXA Signal Analyzer Data Sheet (literature number 5990-4327EN).

Step 1. Select maximum frequency range (required option; frequency range not upgradeable)

noitamrofnilanoitiddArebmunnoitpOnoitpircseD

Frequency range, 9 kHz to 3.0 GHz N9000A-503 Comes standard with 10 MHz analysis bandwidth

Frequency range, 9 kHz to 7.5 GHz N9000A-507 Comes standard with 10 MHz analysis bandwidth

Step 2. Choose an attenuator
