HP 89400 Vector Signal Analyzer Family

[ Summary ][ Features ][ Specifications ][ Key Literature ][ Ordering ][ Assistance ][ Related ]
Hewlett-Packard's vector signal analyzers integrate frequency domain and time-domain analysis to provide the most advanced measurements of complex and time-varying signals. Using state-of-the-art digitizing and signal processing technology, these analyzers offer complex signal analysis, such as digital modulation analysis and AM/FM/PM demodulation, vector spectrum analysis, and time-gated spectrum analysis. Simultaneous time- and frequency-domain measurements and displays improve productivity and enhance ease of use.

Complex and time-varying signals include burst, pulsed, transient, hopping, and analog- and digital-modulated signals. Signals such as these are common in RF communications, video broadcast satellite, radar, sonar and ultrasound imaging systems and must be characterized in the design, manufacture and monitoring of these systems. Vector signal analyzers are ideally suited to making the needed power, frequency, and modulation measurements on these complex signals.

The HP 89410A covers baseband frequencies from dc to 10 MHz with one or two full-bandwidth input channels. The HP 89441A covers baseband through RF frequencies of dc to 2.65 GHz with a single RF input and an (optional) dc to 10 MHz second baseband channel.
