Spectrum analyzer for adjustments

For M9383A

N9040B with options:

• 550, frequency
• H1G, 1 GHz analysis bandwidth

Vector Signal Analysis Application

Used with Wideband EVM Adjustment for the M9383A only.

89600 VSA with licenses:

• 89601200C, basic vector signal analysis and hardware connectivity
