The 8562 EL Portable Spectrum Analyzer is the light version of the popular EC series. The 8562 EL offers excellent performance for RF design, manufacturing, and service applications. It has a frequency range of 30Hz to 2.9GHz. It features synthesized tuning for drift-free, accurate measurements. Sensitivity is -145 dBm with noise sidebands typically less than -115 dBc/Hz at a 10kHz offset from 1GHz, more than 100 dB of spurious-free third-order dynamic range, and a TOI of up to +15 dBm. Digital resolution bandwidths range from 1 to 100Hz, and analog filters cover the resolution bandwidth range from 300Hz to 2MHz. It fully meets MIL-T-28800 specifications for ruggedness.

Removed Features from the EC models are:

• Unit has TCXO vs. OCXO which reduces phase noise specifications. (same as option 103 on EC series)
• No Mass Memmory module
• No External Mixer capabilty
• No Alternative Sweep output capabilty
• No Fast Time Domain sweep capabilty)/li>
• No Signal Identification capability
