The Agilent/Keysight N9963B is a handheld RF spectrum analyzer built for field testing and continuous spectrum monitoring from 9 kHz to 6 GHz. It delivers spectrum analysis, channel power measurement, adjacent channel power measurement, occupied bandwidth measurement, AM/FM demodulation, interference analysis, and signal identification in a portable platform. The instrument features a Displayed Average Noise Level of -165 dBm typical, resolution bandwidth from 1 Hz to 1 MHz in 1-3-10 sequence, and video bandwidth spanning 0.1 Hz to 3 MHz. An input attenuator provides 0 to 30 dB range in 1 dB steps. The N9963B connects via Type-N female RF input, USB ports for data transfer, and Ethernet for remote control. A high-resolution color display supports field operations across -10 °C to +55 °C. Power comes from an AC adapter (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) or rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Zero span and full 6 GHz frequency span capability enable both narrowband and wideband analysis.
