This unit

The Keysight N9960B FieldFox is a handheld RF analyzer delivering lab-grade spectrum analysis, vector network analysis, and cable/antenna testing in a single ruggedized instrument. Operating from 9 kHz to 32 GHz, it captures real-time signals across up to 120 MHz bandwidth with ±0.2 dB amplitude accuracy and -114 dB/Hz phase noise at 10 kHz offset. Purpose-built for field deployment, maintenance, and troubleshooting of communication systems, radar, and RF equipment, the N9960B combines portability with measurement precision in environments where bench instruments cannot reach.
