on May 13, 2015Today we announced the new Spectrum Analyzer app on the PNA and PNA-X (option 090). Check out the 2-pager: http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5992-0752EN.pdf?id=2605632
It's super fast for spur seaching (broadband spectrum sweeps with narrow RBW's). And you can use all four input ports for a true multiport SA! This is what my team and I have been working on for the last 2 (or 3) years.
Now I'll have to add another chapter in my book on testing components for unknown spurs.

I see in that paper the spec for TOI for all PNA-X better then 20dBm...Interesting. It that better then that we have before? Standard PNA-X could deliver around 90-95dBc IM3 at -36dBm power per tone at the receiver, that mean 90dBc/2 - 36dBm = 9 dBm IP3 (TOI). So for the same condition and 20dBm IP3 (TOI) I should get the following; (20+36)*2=112dBc!!! Is that true?
That will be BIG improvement. We are talking true Spectrum Analyzer level (like MXA).
Does the lower frequency limits 500MHz is because the coupler roll off, and if you go directly to receiver you can get that performance down to 10MHz?
