Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8509A /14 #106259 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8509A /14 is a general-purpose, intermediate frequency spectrum analyzer with a frequency range from 10 Hz to 1 GHz. The 8509A is a two-channel analyzer featuring two independent receivers, allowing for simultaneous or separate spectral measurements. The 8509A also provides various test capabilities, including Audio-Loop Test, Auto-range and Built-in Test Equipment (BITE). Built with advanced measurement capabilities, the 8509A utilizes a Cartesian display to provide accurate, easy-to-interpret graphical representations of the input signals. The unit features an ample 300mm display with adjustable viewing angles, ensuring that the user can get clear, concise readings of the primary signal with minimal strain. Also includes is a built-in power meter, allowing for direct power measurements up to +39 dBm. The RF performance of the 8509A is quite impressive, and the device is able to separate close signals, wideband- and narrowband-signals, and spurious and intermodulation products with ease. The 8509A is also efficient in terms of spurious-noise rejection, being able to suppress spurious signals up to 100 dB. The 8509A is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for portable monitoring operations or laboratory applications. It operates on 100/120/220/240 VAC input power and requires 200 VA power dissipated. When set up correctly, the 8509A can quickly and accurately acquire spectral values, providing the user with detailed spectral measurements, including gain-bandwidth, noise-bandwidth, 1 dB compression point, 3rd-order intercept point, and IP3. For bulk measurements, the 8509A is capable of displaying limit lines and reference lines on the Cartesian display, thus allowing for quicker measurements. The 8509A also has the ability to store one measurement set which can be referred to at a later point in time for comparison purposes. Overall, the 8509A is a well-designed and reliable intermediate frequency spectrum analyzer that provides the user with accurate, real-time spectral measurements up to 1 GHz. The 8509A is an invaluable tool for many applications, such as troubleshooting communications systems, checking antennas, testing radiating cables and analyzing wireless networks.
