The Agilent 8590L Spectrum Analyzer is designed to meet your general purpose measurement needs. The easy-to-use interface provides access to more than 200 built-in functions.
The Agilent 8590L has an optional built-in tracking generator that measures the scalar characteristics of your components with the optional built-in tracking generator and the Agilent 85714A scalar measurements personality.
Data storage can be to internal memory, where over 50 traces and states may be saved, or to memory cards through the optional memory-card reader. Data can be directly output to a printer or plotter through the optional GPIB, RS-232, or parallel printer interfaces.
Built-in Measurement Capability
Third-order intercept, percent AM, and “N” dB bandwidth are just a few of the built-in measurements. These measurements are performed at the press of a single softkey. Results are displayed onscreen. And the downloadable program (DLP) capability lets you write your own built-in measurements using the DLP editor and an external keyboard.
Measurement Personalities
Measurement personalities are application-specific DLPs that are loaded into the analyzer through the optional card reader. They provide measurement routines and a user-interface specific to the application. A scalar measurements personality customizes the 8590L with optional built in 1.8 GHz tracking generator, and a cable TV measurements personality equips the 8590L-Series with one-button RF measurements for CATV service and system monitoring.
MIL-T-28800 Conformance
The 8590 series spectrum analyzers conform to the environ-mental specifications of MIL-T-28800 class 5 to insure reliable and accurate performance in portable environments as well as indoors. Compliance with the MIL-T-28800 standards of vibration, temperature, humidity, and shock provide assurance that the 8590 series will withstand the rigors of field use.
