HP / Agilent 89650S 26.5 GHz Vector Signal Analysis Bundle

The HP/Agilent 89650S 26.5 GHz Vector Signal Analysis Bundle delivers complete RF and modulation analysis across an extended frequency range. This system pairs a PSA series spectrum analyzer with wideband IF options and the 89601/AN interface to enable detailed signal examination in the time, frequency, and modulation domains. Engineers use it for demodulation, troubleshooting, and analysis of complex communication signals, radar applications, and general RF measurements.

The bundle integrates with the 89600 Series VSA software running on PC platforms, supporting standards including 802.11a, 802.11g, HiperLAN2, OFDM, and WCDMA applications.
