PSA Series High-Performance
Spectrum Analyzers
Configuration Guide and PXA Cross Reference
This PSA configuration guide with PXA cross reference will help you determine the right
signal analysis tool to meet your needs whether you are:
Selecting options to optimize your Agilent PSA Series high-performance spectrum
analyzer
Upgrading your high-performance spectrum analyzer
Contemplating replacing your PSA with Agilents next-generation high-performance
signal analyzer, the N9030A PXA, which covers up to 50 GHz and beyond, and provides
users with better performance, wider analysis bandwidth, faster measurements, and
more powerful connectivity
In this document, options for the new PXA are listed alongside the PSA options as a
reference for customers who wish to consider upgrading to the latest technologies found
in the PXA.
