Description

LXI Logo

Agilent's N8201A performance downconverter synthetic instrument module down converts a microwave signal to an IF signal providing IF output frequencies of 7.5, 21.4 and 321.4 MHz to offer three different signal bandwidth capabilities. External mixing can be utilized to downconvert microwave signals up to 110 GHz. The N8201A is based upon the industry’s most accurate spectrum analyzer, the PSA Series.

Agilent's synthetic instrument family offers the highest-performing RF/MW LAN-based modular instrumentation and the smallest footprint for automated test systems (ATSs); providing the maximum flexibility, and minimizing the cost of an ATS over its lifetime. See a photo of the small modular size mounted in a rack.

  • Microwave performance similar to the E4440A PSA Series high-performance spectrum analyzer
  • Coherent LO input/output port allowing a common LO signal to drive multiple downconverters
  • 200 MHz wide modulation bandwidth with pre-selector off
