ESA-E Custom Confi guration
Step 1. Select your frequency range
Description ESA-E model number
1
EXA option number
Frequency range, 9 kHz to 3.0 GHz E4402B N9010A-503
EXA Option 503 maximum frequency range is 3.6 GHz
Frequency range, 9 kHz to 6.7 GHz E4404B N9010A-507
EXA Option 507 maximum frequency range is 7.0 GHz
Frequency range, 9 kHz to 13.2 GHz E4405B N9010A-513
EXA Option 513 maximum frequency range is 13.6 GHz

Step 2. Included options at no additional charge
Description ESA-E spectrum analyzer EXA signal analyzer
GPIB connection Option A4H
2
Standard on all EXA signal analyzers; in addition, the EXA offers
seven USB ports and LAN connectivity as standard.
IntuiLink PC connectivity software Connects to Microsoft

Word and Excel The PC-based EXA requires no additional software to connect
to Microsoft applications
Step 3. Choose frequency reference
Description ESA-E spectrum analyzer EXA signal analyzer
Frequency reference (standard aging rate) ±2 x 10
–6
/ year ±1 x 10
–6
/ year
High-stability frequency reference
(reduces frequency drift resulting in more accurate
measurements; recommended option)
Option 1D5
Aging rate: ±1 x 10
–7
/ year
N9010A-PFR
Aging rate: ±1 x 10
–7
/ year
Step 4. Choose an attenuator
Description ESA-E spectrum analyzer EXA signal analyzer
Mechanical attenuator (standard) 5 dB steps, 0 to 60 dB 10 dB steps, 0 to 60 dB
Fine-step mechanical attenuator Not available N9010A-FSA
Allows 2 dB steps for the full 60 dB range of the mechanical
attenuator
Electronic attenuator up to 3.6 GHz Not available N9010A-EA3
Add to the mechanical attenuator; 1 dB steps, 0 to 24 dB
Step 5. Add a preamplifier
Description ESA-E spectrum analyzer EXA signal analyzer
Preamplifier Option 1DS
1 MHz to 3 GHz
N9010A-P03
100 kHz to 3.6 GHz
