HP / Keysight / Agilent 85719A Overview
The Agilent Technologies 85719A noise figure measurements personality adds noise-figure measurement capability to the Agilent 8590 E-series Option 119 spectrum analyzers. Combined with the 346B noise source, 87405A preamplifier, and Option 119, this measurement personality provides displayed swept noise figure and gain measurements from 10 MHz to 2.9 GHz.
The 85719A offers one-point measurement capability for quick results, a repeatability calculator for determining measurement time/repeatability tradeoffs, noise figure/spectrum analyzer mode switching for straysignal detection, and selectable measurement bandwidths to directly measure narrowband devices, such as IF/receiver systems. No other noise figure instrument offers comparable measurement capability in a portable package. In addition, the 85719A incorporates many of the features found in the Agilent 8590 E-series spectrum analyzers, including save/ recall functions and memory card reader for storage of measurement data, displays, states, and excess noise ratio (ENR) data tables.
