The Keysight (formerly Agilent) N9340B is a rugged, handheld RF spectrum analyzer designed for field applications. It offers a frequency range of 100 kHz to 3 GHz with features optimized for portability and ease of use, including a 4-hour battery life, built-in light sensor, back-lit keys, and a bright 6.5-inch color display. It delivers solid performance in the field with a displayed average noise level down to -144 dBm (with optional pre-amplifier) and standard one-button power measurements.
