The Keysight N9020B MXA Signal Analyzer is a benchtop instrument delivering signal analysis from 10 Hz to 50 GHz with a multi-touch user interface designed for rapid measurement and reduced test cycles. Built on proven algorithms and offering 100-percent code compatibility across the X-Series family, the N9020B enables consistent workflows from R&D through manufacturing. External mixers extend capability to 1.1 THz, while real-time analysis bandwidth reaches 160 MHz. The instrument combines low noise performance, precise amplitude accuracy, and support for over 75 signal standards through 89600 VSA software, making it suitable for wireless communication, aerospace, and defense applications.
