Product Description:
The N8976B high-performance noise figure analyzer makes fast, accurate and repeatable noise figure measurements. When used with the SNS series noise source and U7227 series USB preamplifier, ENR data from the SNS and USB preamplifier data are automatically downloaded to the N8976B. The N8976B has a multi-touch interface that supports zoom in, zoom out, and drag gestures. Most menus can be accessed at the touch of a finger without changing the screen. The comprehensive calibration of up to 12 device Settings under test is accomplished in one step, significantly simplifying noise source calibration for Y-factor measurements. Using the internal calibration function eliminates the need to perform user calibration, saving valuable test time for many types of devices under test.
The built-in noise factor uncertainty calculator can be pre-filled with data from SNS noise sources, USB preamplifiers, and all necessary instrument parameters such as analyzer noise figure, gain, noise factor uncertainty, and matching. The default noise figure setting provides simultaneous noise figure and gain measurements. Using the Table view, you can view multiple measurements simultaneously in tabular form, including noise factor, noise factor, Y factor, gain, Phot, Pcold, and Teffective. The Spectrum analyzer mode and IQ Analyzer (Basic) mode of the N8976B provide additional flexibility, allowing customers to analyze the characteristics of the device under test in more depth than necessary, in addition to measuring the noise figure. The 44 GHz built-in preamplifier (Option P44), 25 MHz analysis bandwidth (Option B25), precision Frequency reference (Option PFR), fine stepping attenuator (Option FSA), and background noise expansion (Option NFE) are provided as standard options. By connecting to the Keysight signal generator via LAN, USB or GPIB interface, external simulation local oscillator can be connected to the input of the frequency conversion device. Local oscillator control can be adjusted from the N8973B.
