Hi,
I have a E8364A PNA. I think it can be used as Electrical Spectrum Analyzer, but I have no idea how setup it. I want to use it as ESA because I need to measure the electrical spectrum at 50GHz and the highest frequency of my MXA is 26GHz. Could anybody help me?
Thank you
Best regards,
Luis
Hi daras,
Thank you for your reply.
We have another PNA-X, that is Agilent N4373C (PNA-X). Is it possible use it as Spectrum Analyzer?
The N4373C is actually a lightwave component analyzer that is based on a C model PNA E836xC (not a PNA-X) and it also an obsolete product and will not support the SA option. The SA option was only introduced a little over a year ego and none of the models that were not in active support at the time can support that option.
Thank you for your reply
Maybe you could add a Frequency Extension Module to your MXA. External Mixer.
I know it... I could do a down conversion... however, I need a external mixer with high band width and an oscillator (probably around 50 GHz)
Hi Luis,
We do have the Spectrum Analyzer option for our newer model PNA and PNA-X's, but that option is not available on the E836xA models. The replacement for your E8364A is a N5225B PNA and if you follow the link below, you can find more information about it, including the Spectrum Analyzer measurement option:
