Modern digital communication
systems require high linearity of
signal transmission. To meet this
new requirement, electronic compo-
nents must have well-characterized
phase and magnitude performance.
Spectrum measurements, such as
intermodulation distortion, are key
to achieving high system quality.
Also impedance measurements are
very important to develop the high
quality design.
The Agilent 4395A/96B keeps up with
your new demands by offering the
capabilities you need in an easy-to-use
instrument. Eliminate the extra work
and cost associated with using multiple
instruments. Follow these simple steps
to test your components:
• Easily alternate between vector net-
work and spectrum measurements.
• See two measurement parameters
on the dual-display color TFT LCD.
• Use powerful marker functions and
up to eight markers per channel
for data searching.
• Save and recall calibration data,
measurement data, and test
programs with either internal
RAM disk or floppy disk.
• Easily dump data directly from the
analyzer to the centronics printer.
Amplifiers
Make both linear and non-linear
measurements with the Agilent
combination analyzer. You get wide
dynamic range for accurate inter-
modulation distortion measurement.
Mixers
Measure mixer output easily with
peak all and market list. Measure
conversion signals for distortion
and harmonics.
Oscillators
Predict oscillator stability by measuring
the reflection coefficient in the vector
network mode. Turn to the spectrum
mode to see oscillation frequency,
harmonics, and noise. Use marker
zoom for measuring output level.
