Agilent/Keysight 70700A – Local Oscillator Module

The Agilent/Keysight 70700A is a digitizer module for the 70000 Modular Measurement System that extends spectrum analyzer capabilities into the time domain. Operating at 20 MS/s with 10-bit resolution and 256K samples of memory, it delivers precise transient analysis and waveform capture. The module functions as a standalone instrument or integrates within the 70000 series chassis to enable oscilloscope, transient analyzer, and programmable waveform recorder operation.

Technical Specifications

• Sampling Rate: 20 MS/s


• Resolution: 10 bits


• Memory Depth: 256K samples per module


• Channel Configuration: Single channel; supports synchronous multichannel operation with up to eight 70700A modules


• Module Width: 1-slot width (70000 MMS chassis)

Key Features

• Random Event Capture (REC) for powerful transient analysis


• Pre-trigger data capture to record events preceding the trigger point


• Menu-driven interface for operator control and configuration


• High sampling rate enables recovery of fast pulses within the bandwidth constraints of the associated spectrum analyzer signal path


• Independent operation as a data acquisition and waveform analysis instrument

Typical Applications

• Time-domain signal analysis in spectrum analyzer systems


• Transient event detection and characterization


• Multichannel synchronized waveform recording


• Fast pulse measurement and capture


• Digitized waveform recording and playback

Compatibility & Integration The 70700A slots directly into Agilent/Keysight 70000 Modular Measurement System mainframes and chassis. Up to eight modules can be synchronized for simultaneous multichannel operation without performance degradation. Integration improves spectrum analyzer sweep times while maintaining full time-domain analysis capability.
