HP 8901A Modulation Analyzer, 150 kHz to 1300 MHz


[ Summary ][ Features ][ Specifications ][ Ordering ][ Assistance ]

Product Summary

The HP 8901A modulation analyzer combines the capabilities of several RF instruments to give complete, accurate characterization of modulated signals in the 150 kHz to 1300 MHz frequency range. It very accurately measures modulation and recovers the modulation signal, determines RF frequency and measures RF power.
