Modular PXI vector signal analyzers
Modular signal analyzers are ideal for applications that
require fast, high quality measurements, such as
high-volume manufacturing, where quality control, product
conformance and test optimization are essential. Modular
solutions offer speed, scalability and repeatability, along
with the flexibility to configure a solution with a shared
processor, frame/chassis, display, and interface. Benefit
from Keysight's measurement expertise, software, and
PXI integration to create an application-focused modular
solution, including multi-channel or multi-measurement
capability.
Handheld analyzers
Whether you're looking for value or precision, RF or
microwave, we offer rugged, accurate, fast, and easy-to
use handheld spectrum analyzers to address challenges
faced by field technicians and engineers. Handheld
analyzers are optimized for long battery life and minimal
weight.
Applications and measurement software
Available for a broad range of communication standards
and modulation types, Keysight offers PC- and
instrument-based applications and software to address
measurement needs from in-depth troubleshooting, to
standard-compliant design validation, to high-speed
pass/fail testing.
