The Agilent/Keysight 8562EC is a portable spectrum analyzer delivering high-performance RF signal characterization from 30 Hz to 13.2 GHz using internal mixing, with external mixing capability extending to 325 GHz. Built to MIL-PRF-28800 Class 3 standards, it withstands 30 g shock and 8-inch drops across all faces and corners, making it suitable for field operations, research, and production testing in demanding environments.
– Technical Specifications
Frequency coverage spans 30 Hz to 13.2 GHz (DC coupled, internal mixing) and 100 kHz to 13.2 GHz (AC coupled), with external mixing extending to 325 GHz. Amplitude measurement delivers ±1.0 dB absolute accuracy across a -145 dBm to +30 dBm range. The displayed average noise level (DANL) reaches -151 dBm/Hz with dynamic range exceeding 148 dB.
Resolution bandwidth runs 1 Hz to 3 MHz, with digital RBW from 1 Hz to 100 Hz. Digital RBW accuracy is ±10% for 1 Hz to 300 kHz and ±25% for 1 MHz. Video bandwidth ranges 1 Hz to 3 MHz. Phase noise performance is <-113 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset.
Frequency reference accuracy achieves ±1 × 10⁻⁸ (initial) and ±1 × 10⁻⁷ per year (aging). Full-span sweep of 13.2 GHz completes in 260 ms (RBW = VBW = 1 MHz).
