The Keysight (Agilent/HP) 8590A is a portable RF spectrum analyzer covering 10 kHz to 1.5 GHz. It provides a large amplitude measurement range from −115 dBm to +30 dBm with a 50‑ohm input. A digital, parallax‑free graticule and menu‑driven interface simplify operation, with automatic coupling of key parameters such as RBW, sweep time, IF gain, and input attenuation.
