The Agilent/Keysight N9020A MXA is a modular signal analyzer delivering high-performance signal characterization from 10 Hz across multiple frequency bands up to 26.5 GHz native, with extendable coverage to 110 GHz via smart mixers. Purpose-built for wireless communications, aerospace and defense, RF testing, and manufacturing, the N9020A integrates advanced measurement engines, real-time spectrum analysis, and PathWave software integration to accelerate development cycles and optimize test throughput.
Technical Specifications
Frequency coverage spans 10 Hz to 3.6 GHz, 8.4 GHz, 13.6 GHz, or 26.5 GHz depending on model configuration, with extension beyond 110 GHz possible using external mixers. Analysis bandwidth selections include 25 MHz, 40 MHz, 85 MHz, 125 MHz, 140 MHz, and 160 MHz. Absolute amplitude accuracy reaches ±0.23 dB to 3.6 GHz. Phase noise measures -114 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset at a 1 GHz carrier. Third-order intercept (TOI) delivers +20 dBm at 1 GHz with typical third-order dynamic range to 116 dB. DANL with preamplifier enabled reaches -166 dBm, improving by up to 9 dB with Noise Floor Extension. Resolution bandwidth spans 1 Hz to 10 MHz. W-CDMA ACLR performance achieves -78 dB with noise correction.
