This unit
The Agilent/Keysight 8594A is a portable RF spectrum analyzer operating from 9 kHz to 2.9 GHz, engineered for signal analysis, component testing, and EMI diagnostics. This discontinued instrument delivers mid-range performance in a compact, user-friendly form factor with wide dynamic range and accurate frequency measurements.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 9 kHz to 2.9 GHz Amplitude Range: −112 dBm to +30 dBm, with minimum displayed average noise level of −112 dBm and maximum of −107 dBm. Amplitude uncertainty is ±3% maximum. Resolution Bandwidth: 1 kHz to 3 MHz standard, with narrower options available (30 Hz, 100 Hz, 200 Hz, 300 Hz). Video Bandwidth: 30 Hz to 1 MHz Sweep Time: 20 ms to 100 s. Zero span capable of sweeps as fast as 20 µs to 20 ms, with single-division sweep capability down to 2 microseconds (Option 101). Frequency Accuracy: 7 ppm standard. Optional Precision Frequency Reference (Option 004) improves accuracy to 230 Hz at 1 GHz.
