The Agilent N9020A MXA signal analyzer has been upgraded with 
new capabilities and new security features. The instrument's CPU 
and hard disk drive are now removal for secure installations in 
which data must be safeguarded. And a new phase-noise 
measurement application has been developed for the instrument as 
well as new MATLAB drivers, time gating and an enhanced 802.16 
OFDMA (Mobile WiMAX) measurement application. The phase noise 
measurement application allows engineers to quickly troubleshoot 
and measure short-term signal stability - a capability fundamental 
to successful modern digital wireless communication systems. The 
enhancements provide an advanced tool set for making flexible 
signal and spectrum analysis measurements during the design and 
manufacture of wireless communication devices to current and 
emerging standards.
