The Keysight CSA Spectrum Analyzer

A general purpose spectrum analyzer is the engineer’s most flexible test tool. The Keysight Technologies, Inc. CSA spectrum analyzer extends that flexibility with its performance, ease-of-use, and unprecedented reliability.

Performance and quality you expect at a price you can afford

The Keysight CSA spectrum analyzer brings a level of performance not seen previously in a compact spectrum analyzer. The highest dynamic range in its price class is achieved with unmatched distortion performance, substantial noise performance, and standard 10 Hz resolution bandwidth. The instrument also offers overall amplitude accuracy of ±0.5 dB. Now you get all of this capability and more, with excellent reliability and low service and support costs.

Ease-of-use means greater efficiency

The user interface is designed to give expert users access to all of the power of the Keysight CSA. Logically grouped hard keys, soft keys, and menus allow intuitive control of parameters like input attenuation, bandwidth, and detector type. Features such as auto-tune, auto-scale, auto-range, 1 dB step attenuator, built-in preamp, and onboard help make the Keysight CSA easy to use even for non-experts.

Easy to upgrade

Unique among our products, each Keysight CSA spectrum analyzer comes with options installed, ready to be activated. This allows for easy upgrades, enabling users to reconfigure the instrument as needs change. Signal source and preamplifier upgrades may require service center calibration.

Connectivity is simple

Transport data to a PC easily via USB memory device. Download firmware upgrades from the Web into the instrument. Remotely control your instruments using SCPI commands over a 100 base-T LAN.

Accurate, Rugged, Dependable, and Flexible

The Keysight CSA is optimized for manufacturing with its combination of high performance, modern connectivity, and the industry’s best reliability.

The instrument was designed for fast sweep speeds in narrow resolution bandwidths and fast in-channel measure­ments, as well as the highest achievable dynamic range in its price class. Remote control via 100 Base T LAN and SCPI reduce the complexity and time to develop automation software, enhance compatibility with existing systems, and reduce training time for manu­facturing staff. All of these attributes are designed to reduce cost-of-test, while the excellent reliability assures the lowest overall cost of ownership.

Now you can afford the excellence of a Keysight spectrum analyzer at each engineer’s bench!

You get true Keysight performance with TOI of +18 dBm, 10 Hz minimum RBW (1 Hz minimum VBW) with 10% adjustability, and 1 dB step attenuator. The large, bright, 21 cm, 1024 x 768 pixel, XGA display (best-in-class), convenient form factor, and straightforward portability of data with a USB memory device make the Keysight CSA spectrum analyzer easy to use. Features like auto-tune and auto-scale ensure that newer users can quickly make use of this extensive performance and capability.

The Keysight CSA’s field-ready features make it an ideal choice for installation and maintenance of today’s complex communication systems.

Weighing just 7.5 k (16.5 lbs) with rugged bumpers, and a comfortable, adjustable bail handle, the Keysight CSA spectrum analyzer is able to deliver powerful measurement capability where and when you need it. This analyzer has more than two hours of battery life and a bright, high-resolution display, perfect for use in the field. This instru­ment combines the functionality of a general-purpose spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, and power meter into a simple, easy-to-use package. The built-in VSWR bridge, optional internal signal source, and stimulus/ response measurement suite confirm the Keysight CSA spectrum analyzer as the best installation and maintenance solution in its price class.

The Keysight CSA brings the power of spectrum analysis to the teaching lab, enabling professors to easily communicate signal theory to their students.

Easy transformation between time and frequency domains simplifies the understanding of digital modulation formats. Built-in help and auto-setup features bring full spectrum analysis capability into the hands of aspiring experts. With the shallow form factor conserving valuable lab bench space, exceptional performance, and affordable price, the Keysight CSA spectrum analyzer is a sensible addition to undergraduate and technical teaching lab stations.

Measurements and Features

Communication channel measurements

The Keysight CSA spectrum analyzer includes a number of communication system channel measurements, allowing users to accurately assess the performance of common wireless telephony and other channel-based communica­tion systems and components. Using preset format-based or custom parameters, the operator can easily determine distortion levels and channel power using the adjacent channel power function. Similarly, the occupied bandwidth function quickly determines power and bandwidth of signals with complex modulation.
