Broadband Preamplifiers and Power Amplifiers

Preamplifiers and power amplifiers can be used with your spectrum analyzer to
enhance measurements of very low-level signals.
• The Agilent 8447D preamplifier provides a minimum of 25 dB gain from 100
kHz to 1.3 GHz.
• The Agilent 83006A preamplifier provides a minimum of 26 dB gain from 10
MHz to 26.5 GHz.
• The 11909A low noise preamplifier provides a minimum of 32 dB gain from 9
kHz to 1 GHz and a typical noise figure of 1.8 dB.

GPIB Cable

The Agilent 10833 Series GPIB cables interconnect GPIB devices and are
available in four different lengths (0.5 to 4 meters). GPIB cables are used to
connect controllers to a spectrum analyzer.

USB/GPIB Interface

programs work immediately, without modification. The 82357B is a standard Plug
and Play device and you can interface with up to 14 GPIB instruments.
