The Agilent N9344C is a handheld spectrum analyzer (HSA) covering a frequency range of 1 MHz to 20 GHz, tunable down to 9 kHz, with an AC-coupled RF input. It is built for engineers and technicians making measurements in the field, pairing benchtop-class measurement performance with a portable, field-ready form factor so work can be carried out—and trusted—on site, even in tough field environments.

A spectrum analyzer measures signal amplitude across a range of frequencies, revealing the spectral content of an RF or microwave signal. The N9344C is designed specifically for operating in demanding field environments, where its measurement performance gives confidence that the job has been done right. An optional task planner (Option TPN) lets users automate routine measurements to save time and ensure consistent, repeatable results, capture measurement data, and generate reports.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000-square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every pre-owned unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. Serving the test-and-measurement market since 1992, we back our equipment with knowledgeable specialists who understand the instruments we sell.

## Brand Heritage

Agilent Technologies began as the test-and-measurement business of Hewlett-Packard, which spun that business off as Agilent Technologies in 1999. Agilent's electronic measurement business was subsequently established as Keysight Technologies in 2014.

> **Important:** To meet published specifications the analyzer must be within its calibration cycle and turned on for at least 30 minutes (warm-up time).

> **Important:** Option PWM (High accuracy power measurement) requires an Agilent U2000 Series USB power sensor; the dynamic range (-60 to +44 dBm) and frequency range (9 kHz to 24 GHz) are sensor dependent. The power sensor is not part of the analyzer.

> **Important:** An external GPS antenna (N934xC-GPA) is offered as an optional accessory for use with the built-in GPS receiver (Option GPS) via the SMA-F external GPS antenna connector.
