Load instrument¶

Here the import is done by USB

[10]:

psa = Agilent_N9000A('agilent', 'USB0::0x0957::0x0E0B::MY49370329::INSTR')

Connected to: Agilent Technologies N9000A (serial:MY49370329, firmware:A.04.26) in 0.27s

Initiallization¶

[11]:

psa.rf_center_frequency(2) # In GHz
psa.resolution_bandwidth(0.2) # In MHz
psa.video_bandwidth(0.2) # In MHz

Measurement¶

[12]:

print('Power at 1 GHz: ', psa.power(), ' dBm')

Power at 1 GHz:  -60.29117031  dBm

[13]:

print('Power spectral density at 1 GHz: ', psa.power_spectral_density(), ' dBm/Hz')

Power spectral density at 1 GHz:  -123.5143635  dBm/Hz
