Advantest R3365A – Spectrum analyzer

The Advantest R3365A is a high-performance spectrum analyzer covering 100 Hz to 8 GHz with an integrated tracking generator (100 kHz to 3.6 GHz). Built for RF and microwave signal analysis, it delivers -145 dBm input sensitivity in low-noise mode across 1 MHz to 3.6 GHz and maintains spectral purity of -110 dBc/Hz at 2.6 GHz (10 kHz offset). The instrument supports resolution bandwidths from 10 Hz to 3 MHz and video bandwidths from 1 Hz to 3 MHz, enabling detailed characterization of complex signals.
