The New Standard for Noise Figure Measurement
If you design or manufacture sub systems or components for today’s complex RF systems you are likely to have a growing need to specify your product’s noise figure. In a competitive market, that noise figure specification can be an essential means of differentiating your product.
But measurement requirements are changing. Noise figure specifications are becoming tighter, requiring ever-greater measurement accuracy. Frequencies are moving higher, particularly in the fast-growing RF and microwave communications market. Competition among manufacturers is fierce, calling for faster, more efficient instruments and processes in design and production test.
To boost your productivity in this fast-paced environment, Agilent Technologies offers the NFA series noise figure analyzer family—the next generation solution for noise figure measurement.
As the successor to our industry-standard 8970 noise figure family, the NFA series provides all the functionality and reliability you’ve come to expect from the leader in noise figure measurement—and then takes a giant leap forward in accuracy, speed, flexibility, and ease of use.
Improve the design and manufacture of your receiver components—and gain a competitive edge
Whether you are working with systems, subsystems, sub-assemblies, or discrete devices, each of your components adds noise that affects the overall performance of the receiver. By measuring and reducing noise figure, you can give your products a competitive edge.
The NFA series is a family of dedicated noise figure analyzers,designed to provide comprehensive characterization of your device under test at a reasonable cost. These analyzers offer the traditional benefits of a noise figure meter, plus the added features and functions most often requested by R&D and production-test engineers and technicians.
Easy measurement of amplifiers and frequency converting devices
Flexible and intuitive user interface
Color graphical display with markers and limit lines
Frequency range to 26.5 GHz and beyond
One-box analyzers to 26.5 GHz
Custom solutions to even higher frequencies
Accurate and repeatable results
Low instrument uncertainty
Compatible with new, improved noise sources
Achieve more in less time
With the NFA series, you’ll make better measurements, more quickly. Ease-of-use features make it easier for any engineer or technician to set up measurements correctly, view measurements in different formats, and print the results or save them to disk. On-screen limit lines simplify pass/fail testing.
Perform your measurements to the latest and most exacting specifications with extended frequency coverage, high performance features, and selectable measurement bandwidths. Repeatable, reliable measurements provide results that you can trust. You will be able to produce more robust designs and prototypes in the lab, and achieve higher yields and throughput in manufacturing.
| Specifications at a glance | |
| Specifications are only valid for the stated operating frequency, and apply over 0° C to +55° C unless otherwise noted. The analyzer will meet its specifications after 2 hours of storage within the operating temperature range, 60 minutes after the analyzer is turned on, with Alignment running. A user calibration is required before corrected measurements can be made. | |
