Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8596E/ 4/41/53/130 #106534 for sale

HP 8596E is an electronic test equipment measuring system designed and manufactured to perform high-precision measurements, particularly in the areas of unmodulated RF and microwave signals. The 8596E is a portable, hand held device that operates in the 0.1 MHz to 50 GHz frequency range, with an accuracy of ± 0.2 dB. It also provides simultaneous characterization of both linear and nonlinear devices. The key specification of 8596E are four measurement functions ranging from logarithmic to power. Logarithmic measurements are necessary for gain estimation and device characterization. Power measurements like Harmonic and Third-Order Intercept (TOI) enable in calibrating antenna systems while measuring noise figure and power measurements. It also has the ability to measure vector parameters (amplitude, phase, and log-magnitude) as well as a range of statistical parameters. The 8596E incorporates an internal keyboard, display and a wide range of connectivity options to streamline set-up and simplify multi-site testing. Its graphical user interface is fully compatible with GPIB, USB and Ethernet software tools. The User's Manual provides step-by-step instructions on how to connect the 8596E to a PC and use the USB interface for data transfer. Other options include a variety of sensing probes and power meter for recording and analyzing data on the go. The 8596E also supports differential and impedance measurements as well as bit-error rate tests (BERTs). The included BSDL files provide support for quick FPGA testing, allowing users to reduce development times by quickly obtaining measurements and configurations. The 8596E is designed for applications such as system analysis and performance verification including susceptibility, EMI/EMC testing, antenna system testing and more. Additionally, the 8596E is capable of managing the captured measurement data, which offers the user an efficient and reliable way to compare results. The 8596E is outfitted with a rugged case which ensures reliable performance even in harsh environments. Additionally, the front panel features brightly colored switches and controls which makes it easy to view and operate the unit. The unit also has self-contained power, meaning users can take it anywhere without the need for an external power supply. In conclusion, AGILENT 8596E is the perfect unit for testing and calibrating various devices and systems at precise settings. With its wide range of frequency selections and precise measurements, it allows for precise and reliable characterization of devices in numerous applications. The range of testing functions, flexibility, and portability allows for on-the-go testing of devices with ease.
