Description

Agilent 8562E Spectrum Analyzer

The Agilent 8562E Spectrum Analyzer is a high-performance RF and microwave signal analyzer offering precise and reliable spectrum analysis from 30 Hz to 13.2 GHz. Engineered for applications requiring wide frequency coverage and excellent dynamic performance, the 8562E is an industry-standard tool used in aerospace, defense, telecommunications, and RF/microwave development labs.

With exceptional low phase noise, a displayed average noise level (DANL) as low as -135 dBm, and resolution bandwidths down to 10 Hz, the 8562E allows users to identify low-level, closely spaced, or spurious signals with high accuracy. The analyzer is capable of performing a broad range of tests including frequency and amplitude measurements, signal harmonics, spurious signal analysis, occupied bandwidth, and modulation characteristics.

Built with a rugged, portable design and a bright CRT display, the 8562E is suitable for both bench-top use and field service. It offers programmable control via GPIB (IEEE-488) for automated testing environments, making it ideal for integration into manufacturing and system testing setups.
