Keysight N932xC Basic Spectrum Analyzer Series: Cost-effective RF Test Solutions

The Keysight N932xC series of basic spectrum analyzers (BSA) includes four models, delivering accurate RF measurements for different test scenarios:

• N9321C：9 kHz～4 GHz (Entry-level, for basic R&D requirements)

• N9322C：9 kHz～7 GHz (Mainstream frequency band, cost-effective choice)

• N9323C：1 MHz～13.6 GHz (Supports 5G/WiFi 6E)

• N9324C：1 MHz～20 GHz (For cutting-edge millimeter-wave applications)

■ Accuracy and Sensitivity:DANL (Displayed Average Noise Level) as low as -161 dBm (with preamplifier on), typical phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz @100 kHz offset (1 GHz signal)

■ Dynamic Range:Typical TOI (Third Order Intercept)+15 dBm (300 MHz～7 GHz), supports high linearity measurement

■ Extended Functions:

◇ Tracking Generator (Option TG7):Output 0～-20 dBm (5 MHz～7 GHz), supports reflection measurement

◇ EMI Pre-certification Option:CISPR bandwidth (200 Hz/9 kHz/120 kHz/1 MHz) and quasi-peak detection

◇ Real-time Spectrum Monitoring (Option MNT):Spectrogram recording and playback

● Complete Solution

○ Calibration Accessories:N9311X-201 Mechanical Calibration Kit (DC ~ 7 GHz OSL)

○ Software Support:Task Planner (Option TPN) enables up to 20-step automated test sequences to improve efficiency for repetitive tasks

● Featured Model: Three Key Advantages of N9322C (9 kHz ~ 7 GHz)

○ Wide Application Coverage:

·  Supports 2.4/5.8 GHz WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and LTE bands (<6 GHz), perfectly suited for R&D of consumer electronics and IoT devices.

·  The 7 GHz upper frequency limit allows capturing WiFi 6E harmonic interference (6.5 GHz band).

○ Outstanding Cost-Effectiveness:

·  With preamplifier enabled, DANL reaches -150 dBm (typical), which matches the performance of high-end models, and the price is only 60-70% of competing products in the same frequency band.

·  Standard-equipped multiple interfaces of USB/GPIB/LAN enable seamless integration with automatic test systems.

○ Strong scalability:

·  Exclusive baseband input option (BB1): Optimizes 9 kHz ~ 10 MHz low-frequency tests (such as xDSL, AM/FM broadcast), with DANL as low as -145 dBm.

·  Reflection measurement (RM7 option): Works with TG7 to achieve one-stop VSWR/return loss analysis, no need to purchase an additional vector network analyzer.

Comparison: Why is N9322C more suitable for economy labs?

Key Difference: N9322C delivers sensitivity close to high-end models for frequencies below 7 GHz, and its built-in tracking generator greatly reduces system complexity. It is ideal for scenarios with limited budget but demanding high reliability.

● Application Scenarios & Solutions

○ Consumer Electronics R&D:

?Problem: Certification failure caused by excessive harmonic of WiFi module

Solution:N9322C with EMI option, CISPR quasi-peak detection quickly locates interference sources, paired with near-field probe (N9311X-100) for accurate pinpoint positioning.

○ Communication Maintenance:

?Problem: Low efficiency of base station feeder fault troubleshooting

Solution:Reflection measurement option (RM7+TG7) realizes DTF (Distance to Fault) analysis, with maximum 60 dB dynamic range and accuracy of ±0.01 dB.

○ Education Laboratory:

?Problem: Single function of teaching equipment

Solution:The AM/FM/ASK/FSK demodulation option (AMA/DMA) supports communication principle experiments, enabling real-time observation of parameters such as modulation depth and frequency deviation.

Keysight N9322C redefines the performance benchmark for economy spectrum analyzers with 7 GHz full-band coverage, -150 dBm sensitivity and modular option design.

Whether it is R&D pre-certification, production line troubleshooting or teaching experiments, it can provide a cost-effective one-stop RF solution.
