New general purpose features
The Agilent CSA offers a wide range of innovative
features designed to assist non-expert users to
easily set up and make valid measurements. The
one button auto-tune function centers the largest
signal on screen and reduces the frequency span,
allowing the user to quickly zoom in. Auto-scale
sets the reference level and amplitude scale for best
signal viewing.
Auto-range performs
a full-band back-
ground sweep,
optimizing input
attenuation and
preamplifier settings,
ensuring that
off-screen signals are
not compressing the
RF stage, assuring
accurate measure-
ment results.
Communication channel measurements
The Agilent CSA spectrum analyzer includes a number
of communication system channel measurements,
allowing users to accurately assess the performance
of common wireless telephony and other channel-
based communication systems and components. Using
preset format-based or custom parameters, the opera-
tor can easily determine distortion levels and channel
power using the adjacent channel power function.
Similarly, the occupied bandwidth function quickly
determines power and bandwidth of signals with
complex modulation.
