Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 86121A #9190936 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 86121A is an advanced electronic test set for measuring microwave and RF signals. This compact, easy to use instrument provides a wide range of features and functions for making accurate measurements of signal strength and frequency in the 0.1 to 40 GHz range. HP 86121A has four independent and continuous frequency and level measurement channels. Each channel has an adjustable level range of -55 dBm to +10 dBm with a typical accuracy of +/- 0.5 dB. The frequency range is greater for each channel, measuring from 10 MHz to 50 GHz with a nominal resolution of 302kHz. Tuning to specific points on the frequency range can also be accomplished in a straightforward manner. AGILENT 86121A has several features for making optimal measurements, even in the presence of disruptive interference. These include a spectrum analyzer mode for searching frequency bands for interfering signals and a distortion analysis mode which uses a third-order discriminator technique. This technique helps reduce the spurious both from the DUT and other sources. The user can select a narrow frequency measurement band and zoom in for more detailed analysis. KEYSIGHT 86121A supports communications with other instruments and computers via an RS-232 and GPIB interface. It also provides a wide array of user-friendly features to continuously monitor multiple signals, allowing for simple operation and a high degree of confidence. It includes an auto-ranging feature which allows the instrument to adjust for different input ranges to take advantage of the best signal to noise ratio. Much of the instrument's capability is still relevant today. Transmissions are more complex than ever before, so the digital tuning and other features are even more important in helping to maintain precision and accuracy. As a whole HEWLETT-PACKARD 86121A is an excellent instrument which can provide reliable and accurate measurements over an extremely wide range, making it a great choice for any application involving microwave or RF signals.
