| SSA5085A | 9 kHz – 26.5 GHz | 1 Hz – 10 MHz | < −105 dBc/Hz @ 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset typ. | < 0.5 dB | −165 dBm/Hz typ. |
Key Features
13.6 / 26.5 GHz Spectrum Analysis
Two models cover RF and microwave measurements from 9 kHz up to 13.6 GHz or 26.5 GHz for cellular, WLAN, Bluetooth, IoT, RF front-end and microwave component work.
Low DANL and Low Phase Noise
Typical DANL of −165 dBm/Hz and phase noise below −105 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset support weak-signal analysis, oscillator checks and receiver-adjacent RF measurements.
Real-time Spectrum Analysis
Optional 25 MHz or 40 MHz real-time bandwidth with density, spectrogram and PvT views helps capture burst signals, hopping carriers and intermittent interference that a swept analyzer can miss.
Advanced RF Measurements
Optional channel power, ACPR, occupied bandwidth, harmonic, TOI and related measurements reduce manual setup time for production and RF design validation.
Analog and Vector Modulation Analysis
Optional AM, FM, PM and IQ/vector analysis with EVM and constellation views supports transmitter quality checks for common RF communication signals.
Touch Display and Remote Operation
A 12.1-inch multi-touch display, HDMI output and browser-based remote operation support bench use, teaching labs and automated test environments.
