8560EC RF Spectrum Analyzer
The 8560EC offers excellent performance for RF design, manufac-
turing and service applications. The 8560EC has a frequency range
of 30 Hz to 2.9 GHz. It has synthesized tuning for drift-free accurate
measurements.
8562EC RF Spectrum Analyzer
The 8562EC is a midrange performance spectrum analyzer that pro-
vides the frequency and dynamic range needed for high-speed digi-
tal wireless communication applications. It allows manufacturing
and R&D engineers to test network components with state-of-the-art
performance. The 8562EC has a frequency range of 30 Hz to 13.2 GHz,
which covers the spur-search ranges specified by leading standards
organizations in Europe and in the United States.
8563EC Microwave Spectrum Analyzer
The 8563EC extends the outstanding features and capabilities of the
8560EC Series RF spectrum analyzers into the microwave frequency
range. The 8563EC has a standard frequency range of 9 kHz to
26.5 GHz (preselected from 2.75 GHz to 26.5 GHz), with optional
low-end frequency coverage to 30 Hz. The image-enhanced, double-
balanced harmonic mixer of the 8563EC achieves noise-figure per-
formance similar to that of a fundamentally-mixed front end.
8564EC and 8565EC Millimeter-Wave Spectrum Analyzers
Whether you want to measure the third harmonic of a 15 GHz oscillator
or the noise sidebands of a 38 GHz carrier, the 8564EC and 8565EC
make spectrum analysis easier than ever before. A single coaxial con-
nection is all you need to measure signals from 30 Hz to 50 GHz. Prese-
lection minimizes images and multiple responses at higher frequencies.
The 8564EC has a frequency range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz, the
8565EC of 9 kHz to 50 GHz. Both have optional low-end coverage to
30 Hz and are preselected above 2.75 GHz.
8563E-K35 Adjacent Channel Power Ratio Test Set
Use this special option with the 8562EC/63EC/64EC/65EC spectrum
analyzers to increase the dynamic range of ACP measurements.
8563E-K35 uses an alternate first converter mixer with custom
filtering to increase the spectrum analyzer’s ACPR measurement
dynamic range. The dynamic range becomes at least 70 dB for
systems with a guard band between channels of 900 kHz or greater.
This meets the needs of W-CDMA specifications. Control menus are
integrated into the spectrum analyzer softkeys making the test set
easy to use.
11970 Series and 11974 Series Millimeter-Wave Mixers
For millimeter-wave measurements
1
, preselection can be extended
to 75 GHz using the 11974 mixers. Unpreselected frequency range
can be extended to 110 GHz using the 11970 series mixers, and to
325 GHz using mixers from other manufacturers.
85620A Mass Memory Module
This standard plug-in module adds measurement personality capability,
enough memory to store 100 traces, memory-card capability and
computer capability, without an external controller. Create complex mea-
surement routines and save them as single-key measurements stored
on memory cards or in the module’s 128 KB of battery-backed RAM.
A clock/calendar and automatic save and execute functions let you con-
figure the spectrum analyzer for unattended, automatic measurements.
85629B Test and Adjustment Module
This accessory for the 8560EC/61EC/63EC (limited use on 8562EC/
64EC) makes it easier to service your spectrum analyzer. The mod-
ule plugs into the rear panel of the instrument and automates high-
level diagnostics, self tests and adjustment procedures. It performs
more than 1,000 troubleshooting adjustments. Readjustments are
fast and accurate because the module controls internal analyzer
settings as well as external test equipment.
85671A Phase Noise Measurement Utility
This downloadable program transforms your 8560EC Series spectrum
analyzer into a phase noise tester. It eliminates the task of hand-
drawing phase noise plots. To measure oscillator phase noise, you can
generate graphs of phase noise (dBc/Hz) versus log offset frequency
without having to manually tune to multiple frequency offsets. Other
productivity features include direct phase noise readout, variable
filtering (for controlling trade-offs between measurement repeatability
and speed), calculation of RMS noise (displayed in radians and
degrees), spot-frequency measurements (phase noise measurements at
a single offset frequency) and digitized hardcopy and storage.
85672A Spurious Response Measurements Utility
The 85672A is a downloadable program on a card that inserts directly
into any 8560EC Series spectrum analyzer. This test utility provides
fast and easy spurious response test capability for all of 8560EC
Series spectrum analyzers. Test setup time can be drastically reduced
for manufacturing and R&D engineers with this one-button solution.
85672A offers five preprogrammed tests: third-order intermodulation
product/third order intercept (TOI), harmonics and total-harmonic
distortion (THD), discrete sideband spurs, general-spur search and
mixing products.
Scalar Network Analysis Capability
The 85640A tracking generator used with the 8560EC covers 300 kHz
to 2.9 GHz, providing 8560EC Series spectrum analyzers with scalar
measurement capability.
