The Keysight (Agilent) 89605B is an RF Input Module designed for VXI-based test systems, primarily serving as the RF downconverter front-end for the Agilent 89600 Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) series. It covers a frequency range from 100 kHz up to 2.6 GHz and downconverts RF signals to an intermediate frequency (IF) for digitizing by subsequent VXI ADC modules.
