The N9917B is a portable battery-powered analyzer; the basic function is a cable and antenna analyzer; the configuration also includes spectrum and network analyzers; an optional built-in power meter and vector voltmeter are available.
Base model includes cable and antenna analyzer
Vector network analyzer or spectrum analyzer option can further expand functionality
100 MHz gapless real-time bandwidth captures intermittent signals
115 dB dynamic range allows simultaneous measurement of all 4 S-parameters
Accurate spectrum analyzer measurements without warm-up (± 0.3 dB)
5G NR and LTE air interface measurements can be performed
Geolocation and time-stamping capabilities using GPS/GNSS technology
Lightweight and portable, weighing only 3.4 kg (7.4 lbs)
Keysight FieldFox is the only handheld analyzer that can simultaneously perform return loss and fault point distance measurements. This allows users to quickly check system performance and simultaneously identify potentially degraded system components, doubling the efficiency compared to traditional testers.
Key features of the Keysight FieldFox handheld RF analyzer include
Integrated QuickCal eliminates the need to carry calibration kits to the field, simplifying cable and antenna testing and providing worry-free accuracy and repeatability for every measurement.
Instant calibration with FieldFox's CalReady, making device calibration ready at the cable and antenna test ports immediately after power-up or preset.
A task-driven user interface derived directly from standard field test procedures naturally and easily guides performance tasks.
Unmatched scan speed reduces problem resolution time, with test times more than 50% faster than traditional RF handheld instruments.
Fast fault location with 1001-point resolution and 96-dB dynamic range in spectrum analysis mode.
Versatile field availability thanks to its light weight (6.2 lbs.), transmissive display, backlit keys, simple data transfer and modern connectivity. The waterproof enclosure withstands a wide temperature range and humid environments and meets stringent environmental standards (MIL-PRF-28800F).
Measurements
Cable and antenna analyzer for return loss, single-port cable loss, fault distance, line scan, and VSWR measurements
Handheld network analyzers (S11, S21, phase and Smith's circle diagram)
Handheld spectrum analyzer with optional preamplifier
Calibration
Integrated QuickCal allows you to calibrate FieldFox without a calibration kit, providing worry-free accuracy and repeatability
Instant calibration with FieldFox's CalReady, making unit calibration ready at the test port immediately after power-up
Broadband calibration with automatic interpolation eliminates FieldFox recalibration when test frequency or points change
Mechanical open-circuit, short-circuit, and load calibration support
FieldFox RF Analyzer basic features: single-port cable and antenna analyzer, wideband calibration, CalReady, standard mechanical calibration kit support (calibration kit optional) Measurements include: return loss, distance to fault (DTF), single-port cable loss, and VSWR.
