The Agilent/Keysight E4404B is a 6.7 GHz spectrum analyzer engineered for signal analysis, RF component characterization, and wireless communication system testing. Operating from 9 kHz to 6.7 GHz, it delivers a typical DANL of -160 dBm at 1 GHz and amplitude accuracy of ±1 dB across dynamic range measurements. The instrument provides resolution bandwidths from 1 Hz to 3 MHz and video bandwidths from 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz, each with ±5% accuracy. Phase noise performance reaches -100 dBc/Hz typical at 1 GHz with 10 kHz offset.
