Overview - Agilent Technologies 89410A Operator's Manual

Extending Analysis to 26.5 GHz with 20 MHz Information Bandwidth

Overview

Some applications require an information bandwidth and frequency coverage
beyond that offered by Agilent 89400-series vector signal analyzers.
Instruments such as the 89441A are limited to frequencies below 2.65 GHz and
information bandwidths of 7 MHz. This precludes the analysis of many spread
spectrum, radar and satellite signals which typically occupy more than 7 MHz
bandwidth and that may exist only at microwave frequencies.
By combining two products—the Agilent 89410A vector signal analyzer and the
HP/Agilent 71910A wideband receiver into a single measurement system—the
unique capabilities of the vector signal analyzer can be used on signals with 20
MHz bandwidth at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz. This chapter describes how to
configure, calibrate and operate an 89410A analyzer with the 71910A wideband
receiver.
The HP 89410A vector
signal analyzer and
HP 71910A wideband
receiver together form a
wideband vector signal
analyzer system.
