The Keysight (formerly Agilent) E7402A is an EMC precompliance spectrum analyzer in the E7400 A-Series, designed to provide fast, accurate, and cost-effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) diagnostics and measurements. Covering a frequency range from 9 kHz to 3.0 GHz (extendable down to 100 Hz), the E7402A features built-in preamplifiers, CISPR-compliant resolution bandwidths, and dedicated detectors for comprehensive radiated and conducted emission testing.
