Handheld Spectrum Analyzer (HSA)
N9340B
Know your spectrum
Regardless of whether you are handling
military communications, a Wireless
Service Provider (WSP), or involved
with spectrum management you need
to avoid impaired communication.
The N9340B provides you with a reliable,
accurate and detailed picture of your
communication spectrum.
When you test, you need fast data
capture to help locate and identify
elusive, transient interference signals.
That’s why every N9340B spectrum
analyzer has a truly fast sweep time.
It requires less time to measure across
the spectrum, to obtain more reliable
test results and to help you achieve
more for the same investment of time
and money.

Spurious signals and noise are of great
concern to all network users. A superior
combination of low displayed average
noise level (DANL) and single sideband
(SSB) phase noise coupled with a
narrow resolution bandwidth (RBW)
means your signal measurements are
more reliable and you will have more
confidence in your test results. The
N9340B’s low DANL and SSB phase
noise helps you detect very low-level
signals (spurs or noise) which are close
to the carrier. You will avoid missing
these difficult-to-identify signals, which
would otherwise lead to an insufficient
or even incorrect understanding of the
spectrum.
The N9340B’s RBW is the narrowest in its
class. The narrow 30 Hz bandwidth of the
analyzer ensures that it is even easier
to identify, resolve, and measure two
signals that are close together.
Additionally, with a resolution filter
shape-factor of less than 5, the N9340B
has the ability to resolve closely spaced
signals with unequal amplitudes.
Moreover, the narrow RBW means that
the spectrum analyzer introduces minimal
noise itself, helping to further reduce
DANL and improve sensitivity.
Superior sensitivity
With more wireless devices on the market
requiring greater bandwidth usage, the
ability to discriminate between different
signals becomes more challenging. It’s
under such demanding conditions that the
superior performance of an N9340B
analyzer proves its worth. The N9340B
has one of the best sensitivity and
selectivity specifications. The DANL is
–124 dBm, or –144 dBm with the
optional preamplifier (30 Hz RBW, 10
MHz < fc < 1.5 GHz).
The optional
preamplifier adds 20 dB gain for
improved analyzer sensitivity.
Speed at your fingertips
The RF spectrum is a finite resource,
therefore its usage requires management.
Most regulatory authorities responsible
for administering frequency allocation
require service suppliers and network
operators to perform routine
monitoring of signal power and
transmission frequency stability.
