• Internal measurement uncertainty calculator
• Built-in preamplifier gives 0.24 dB instrument noise figure uncertainty up to 3 GHz
• DUT setup diagrams and built in context sensitive help
• Analyze a rich set of measurement data from different perspectives by switching between a graphical, tabular or meter display of: noise figure, noise factor, gain, Y-factor, effective temperature, hot or cold power density
• Pass/fail limit line capability
• Supports Agilent Smart Noise Sources
• Supports 346 Series Noise Sources

The Agilent ESA-E Series spectrum analyzers with the noise figure measurement personality (Option 219) provides the flexibility of general-purpose spectrum analysis combined with built-in one button noise figure measurements. This solution automates the measurement process allowing all the required calculations for noise figure, gain and related metrics from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz to be made at the touch of a button. The ESA-E Series is the first commercially available spectrum analyzer that works with Agilents SNS Series noise sources. These noise sources provide the advantage of electronic storage and automatic download of excess noise ratio (ENR) data to the ESA, speeding up overall setup time. With other features like DUT setup menus, context based help, and a built in uncertainty calculator, the ESA is the solution to help you comprehensively characterize your DUTs noise figure at a reasonable cost. An optional internal preamplifier (Option 1DS) and the instruments inherent performance characteristics combine to produce instrument noise figure uncertainty below 3 GHz as low as 0.24 dB.

Note: Option 219 requires internal preamplifier to meet specifications

• SNS Series and 346 Series dual noise source compatibility

This option can be added as a product upgrade.
