Agilent N9344C/N9343C handheld spectrum analysers

The N9344C and N9343C handheld spectrum analysers are two field-ready instruments that provide fast and accurate measurement from 1 MHz to 20 GHz and 13.6 GHz. Both instruments are tunable to 9 kHz.

They have features that include a rugged and fanless design for operating in tough field environments and automatic LCD brightness and keypad backlight control for clear screen viewing day or night.

A built-in GPS receiver and GPS antenna provide precise location information. In addition, dedicated applications ensure faster, easier spectrum monitoring and interference analysis. They can be remotely controlled via a USB/LAN connection.

Their RF performance (-155 dBm/Hz DANL, minimum sweep time <2 ms) ensures measurement accuracy, while a set of one-button measurements (eg, ACP, OBW and channel power) and AM/FM modulation analysis help characterise signal quality.

Support for the company’s USB power sensors ensures high-accuracy power measurements. A built-in tracking generator and time-gated sweep further simplify the measurement process.

The instruments also feature a task planner capability that reduces test set-up time by 95% and allows users to boost their work efficiency by delivering test automation and consistency. Task planner automates routine measurement tasks with continuous execution of up to 20 different tests. It also automatically captures test results and generates reports.
