Delivers Benchtop Accuracy and MIL-Spec Durability to Field Applications
The N9952A 50 GHz FieldFox microwave analyzer base function is a cable and antenna analyzer and can be configured to include a spectrum and full 2-port network analyzer. To save space in a field kit, built-in capabilities can be added to provide up to 10 instruments in 1. The N9952A can be ordered with additional capabilities: power meter, independent signal generator, vector voltmeter, interference analyzer, variable DC source, and built-in GPS receiver.

Fifty to sixty percent of microwave-link equipment issues are related to cables, antennas and connectors. Degraded feeder lines cause poor coverage, link failures, and reduced sensitivity in the receive path. To maintain the quality of a microwave link, it is critical to keep cable and antenna systems in good working condition. FieldFox Cable and Antenna Analyzers are uniquely qualified to provide all the necessary measurements to troubleshoot and maintain these systems.
