The Agilent CSA Spectrum Analyzer N1996A is a 3/6 GHz spectrum analyzer positioned to deliver a new level of value for under $10,000 (USD). It is described as best-in-class on dynamic range, with a convenient size and portability that let it travel with the user, and it is presented as a truly expandable, exceedingly easy-to-use instrument that meets test and measurement needs across applications.

A spectrum analyzer measures signal amplitude across a span of frequencies, letting an engineer characterize how power is distributed across the frequency domain. The N1996A provides measurement functions including adjacent channel power (ACP), occupied bandwidth (OBW), and stimulus/response, along with standard capabilities such as limit masks, triggering, markers, multiple traces, and detectors.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received, so buyers get instruments backed by our own facility and processes.

Brand Heritage

Agilent Technologies was spun out of Hewlett-Packard in 1999. In 2014, Agilent's electronic test and measurement business was established as Keysight Technologies.
