The CNT-90 is a new tool for measurement, analysis and calibration of frequency, time interval or phase, whether in test systems, on the R and D bench, in the calibration lab or in the field.
Budget price for general-purpose spectrum analyser
The GW Instek GSP-827 general-purpose spectrum analyser is available from Aspen Electronics.
R and D labs will also find it a cost effective tool, as it has suitable phase noise performance.
The spectrum analyser features an outstanding low noise floor level of just -152dBm/Hz, without pre-amplifier, and -162dBm/Hz with the GAP801 preamplifier.
This extra sensitivity is ideal for picking up very weak signals.
Power measurement functions include ACPR, OCBW and channel power, phase jitter and N-dB bandwidth measurements.
Two adjacent channels can be viewed simultaneously, and the display splits to show the waveform and the measurement results by parameter.
Ease of use is guaranteed, with the autoset feature that automatically captures RF signals and presents them in the optimal display mode.
For complex signals, amplitude and frequency can be easily manually adjusted.
An auto-sequence function is provided to allow engineers to set up and save more complex test programs for often used measurements.
The user can either step through them at will or run the whole sequence automatically, displaying a go/no-go result.
The unit features a large memory for storing waveforms, a 6.4in TFT display, USB ports on the front and rear panels (host and slave), RS232 and VGA outputs as standard and an optional GPIB interface.
EagleShot PC software for transferring waveforms to a PC is included in the package.
The instrument can be run on AC or DC power, from a car cigarette lighter socket or for 3h on its Li-ion battery pack.
The GSP 830 weighs just 6kg.
Prices start at GBP 3100 for the standard version.
The instruments are already in volume production and are available from Aspen Electronics on 3 weeks delivery.
