Accurate signal monitoring is critical for
designing quality products. In today’s
competitive environment, you need bet-
ter spectrum measurement capabilities to
stay ahead of the competition. The Agilent
4395A/96B, designed with new digital
techniques, outperforms traditional analog
spectrum analyzers.
• Improve testing speed up to 100 times
for narrow RBW sweep. The analyzer’s
stepped FFT technique (4395A: all
RBWs, 4396B: RBW ≤ 3 kHz) breaks the
speed barrier to give you lower noise
floor without sacrificing speed.
• Fully synthesized source.
• 1 Hz RBW with 3:1 shape factor for
close-in signals.
List sweep function can be used in not only
network and impedance analysis, but also
in spectrum analysis. List sweep separates
the sweep frequency range into segments,
and each segment can have an independent
frequency range, number of sweep points,
RBW, and power level settings. By using
list sweep function, separate frequency
bands can be measured in one sweep, or
different RBW can be set for harmonics, IMD,
and wide dynamic range measurements can
be done in a shorter time.
• See close-in signals using the
1 Hz RBW with a 3:1 shape factor.
Monitor close-in low level signals such as
the 60-Hz power line sideband ripple shown
here. You get excellent spectral resolution
from digital RBW filters (4395A: all RBWs,
4396B: RBW ≤ 3 kHz) with a shape factor
as steep as 3:1.
Measure noise precisely. The analyzer’s low
noise floor provides the sensitivity required for
detecting low-level signals.

IMD measurement using list sweep function
Get dramatic speed improvement, with no
loss of accuracy, for narrow RBW sweeps.
In addition, low phase noise provides improved
signal resolution.
