Keysight N9912A/106 FieldFox Handheld RF Analyzer

Overview

The Keysight N9912A/106 FieldFox is the world's most integrated handheld RF analyzer for wireless network installation and maintenance. This 6 GHz model combines cable and antenna testing, spectrum analysis, vector network analysis, power measurement, and signal generation in a single portable instrument weighing 6.2 lb. The N9912A/106 is calibration-ready at the test port immediately following power-up, eliminating the need for external calibration kits in the field.
