Agilent U8903A Audio Analyzer
Make an Audible Difference
Data Sheet
Whether listening to mono, stereo, or surround, the human ear knows what
sounds good. Measuring “how good,” however, can be a challenge. The Agilent
U8903A audio analyzer helps you measure and quantify audio performance in
applications such as wireless audio, analog components and ICs, and consumer
audio.
Across the audio spectrum and beyond, this scalable, single-unit solution
provides versatile measurement functions, diverse test signals, and powerful
analysis capabilities.
The U8903A audio analyzer combines the functionality of a distortion meter,
SINAD meter, frequency counter, AC voltmeter, DC voltmeter, and FFT analyzer
with a low-distortion audio source. On the bench or in a test system, its accu-
racy and versatility helps you make an audible difference in your end product.
