Product Overview
KEYSIGHT N9923A (Agilent)
The Keysight N9923A FieldFox Cable and Antenna Analyzer is a leader in benchtop vector network analyzers (VNA), and now provides the world's most accurate handheld VNA, the FieldFox RF Vector Network Analyzer (N9923A). It provides the best measurement stability in the industry, 0.01 dB/deg C and offers the world's first integrated QuickCal calibration capability available in a handheld VNA. QuickCal enables consistent measurement results and confidence in the data while eliminating the need to carry a calibration kit (cal kit) into the field.
The Keysight N9923A FieldFox RF VNA expands Agilent's handheld FieldFox portfolio and is designed for field engineers in aerospace, defense and network equipment manufacturing, who characterize RF components for mission-critical communication systems. The N9923A, a full 2-port network analyzer, allows operators to measure and display all four S-parameters simultaneously in the field. The FieldFox RF VNA is for engineers who require more network analysis functionality than the flagship Keysight N9912A (Agilent) FieldFox RF analyzer, the world's most integrated handheld instrument for wireless installation and maintenance. All FieldFox products set new standards for ease-of-use, ruggedness, and portability (< 6.2 lbs).
Key Features of the Keysight N9923A include:
-
Built-in QuickCal technology enables calibration without a cal kit
-
Best measurement stability over time and temperature
-
Industry´s only handheld network analyzer with MIL PRF 28800F Class 2 compliance with no exceptions
-
Time stamp your measurements with GPS latitude/longitude data
-
4 hour battery life, field replaceable battery
A standard FieldFox RF VNA provides T/R measurements, or S11 and S21, with magnitude and phase. Adding Option 122 (full 2-port S-parameters) allows two-port cal and measurement of all 4 S-parameters at the same time.
Using FieldFox´s vector voltmeter (VVM), similar to the 8508A, the phase shift and electrical length of a device can be measured. The VVM option also provides ratio measurements of two channels, A/B or B/A.
FieldFox´s other application include distance-to-fault and VSWR testing, absolute power measurements, and characterization of 75-ohm cable TV devices.
