Electronics manufacturing
When you need faster and more cost effective RF analysis tools for testing today's consumer electronics products
and components - look no further!
Regardless of whether you are manufacturing
a wireless mouse, keyboards, GPS devices, or
RF components such as mixers, filters or
amplifiers, you need to measure their RF
characteristics to insure they work properly
within their design parameters like frequency
bandwidth and output power range.
Too little RF power may decrease the wireless
operating distance, while too much power can
drain batteries quickly, reducing operation time
and cause excessive heat in the device.
In today’s competitive world, you need to
verify your product’s RF performance fast and
accurately as well as lower your cost of
ownership. The affordable N9320B is designed
to help achieve all these goals. So, why not
take a closer look at the N9320B spectrum
analyzer?
Boost productivity by decreasing
test time
The throughput rate of a test station is
generally one of the key factors limiting the
productivity of a manufacturing line. You
almost always want to test your products in
the shortest possible time. The sweep time of
a spectrum analyzer is often the most
important performance specification
contributing to your RF analysis test time. The
N9320B analyzer provides you with 10 ms
non-zero span sweep time, the fastest in its
class
Testing and validating your products
with confidence
The N9320B equipped with a new digital IF section
tests your product with improved frequency and
amplitude accuracy and stability. It provides
essential information for your products’
performance and characteristics with increased
confidence. .

Simplify common measurement tasks
When you find yourself having repeatedly to
make the same type of complex measurement
or measurement sequence, it is useful to know
that some shortcuts are available. That's what
we have provided for you in the N9320B
spectrum analyzer.
The N9320B spectrum analyzer continues the
Agilent tradition that test equipment should be
easy to set up and simple to use. Those
familiar with other Agilent spectrum analyzers
will find a similar user interface in the N9320B,
allowing for a shorter learning curve and easier
operation.
One button auto-tuning allows you to quickly
find and accurately analyze the highest level
signal anywhere in the analyzer’s frequency
range. Centering this signal on the screen, the
analyzer simultaneously optimizes the
frequency span, resolution and video
bandwidths, auto-scales the amplitude, sets a
marker on the signal peak and displays the
measurement results.
Power measurements made
easy using the one-button
measurement suite
You will find that the one-button power
measurement suite shortens routine test set
up time by simplifying the keypad/menu
selection.
Selecting these one-button routines directly
from the softkey menu also helps ensure
accuracy and repeatability of the test set up
and measurement no matter who presses the
button.
One of the most fundamental measurements
performed by spectrum analyzers is the
frequency domain measurement of RF power.
However, detailed analysis of a signal often
requires standards-defined spectral masks or
more complex power/bandwidth/detector
measurement combinations.
Channel power
Precise, rapid integrated channel power with
computed power spectral density utilizing
from the RMS averaging detector.
Occupied bandwidth
Selecting the percentage of the signal’s power
to be measured places markers at the upper
and lower frequencies of the waveform
representing the bandwidth utilized by that
percentage of power.
Adjacent channel power (ACP)
Fast, accurate simultaneous filtered RMS
power measurement of a carrier relative to its
leakage in up to six offset bands or channels.
Spectrum emission mask (SEM)
The spectrum emission mask (SEM) is a set of
complex limit lines forming a mask for
out-of-channel emissions measurement. The
SEM is defined relatively to in-channel power.
You can set the parameters of the main
channel, out of channel frequency bands and
the limit lines. Included is Pass/Fail testing
for the overall spectrum emission mask and
each individual out-of- channel frequency
range.
Of course, you retain the flexibility to tailor
each measurement task to your specific needs
when necessary. And you'll find it easy to
distinguish between signals having large level
differences since the N9320B has one of the
widest dynamic ranges for an analyzer in its
price range.
High accuracy power
measurements
The N9320B now supports high accuracy,
USB plug-and-play power measurements as
standard when connected to an Agilent
U2000 series USB power sensor. Make true
average power measurements for all signal
types with wide dynamic range up to 18 GHz
with just the push of a button. The Agilent
U2000 series USB power sensors require no
external power supplies and with internal
zeroing eliminate the need for external
calibration. Without the need for additional
boxes, the user can easily set up, calibrate
and control the power sensor via the analyzer’s
USB port. Two display modes are available:
either the meter or the chart mode to log
power measurements over time.
The combination of spectrum analyzer and
power meter
Bench repair
An effective, professional bench repair tool
Most bench repair tasks demand fast, cost effective test solutions. Being
small and lightweight, the N9320B spectrum analyzer is as functional and
indispensable in low-cost bench repair applications as it is for field
troubleshooting.
Detecting low signal levels while simultaneously resolving closely spaced
frequencies is a fundamental requirement for RF testing. Employing one of
the best combinations of sensitivity and narrow resolution bandwidths
(RBW) ensures that an N9320B spectrum analyzer will readily handle
these tasks.
