Includes frequency mask trigger (FMT) and time qualified trigger (TQT); minimum 17.3 μs
signal duration for 100% probability of intercept (POI); requires Option B85, B1A, or B1X,
which determines maximum real-time bandwidth; also supports Option EXM
Real-time analysis up to 160 MHz BW,
optimum detection
N9020A-RT2
Includes frequency mask trigger (FMT) and time qualified trigger (TQT); minimum 3.57 μs
signal duration for 100% probability of intercept (POI); requires Option B1X, B1A, or B85,
which determines maximum real-time bandwidth; also supports Option EXM
Real-time spectrum recorder and
analyzer application
N9020A-RTR

and analyzing signal anomalies; requires Option RT1 or RT2
1. All instruments with serial number prefix ≥ MY/SG/US5233 are installed with the N9020A-EP2 standard for the enhanced phase noise performance. The
N9020A-EP2 is not upgradable.
2. When used with the Keysight 11970 Series external mixers, an external diplexer is required. Recommended diplexer can be purchased from Keysight as
N9029AE13, or from OML Inc. as DPL313B.
