Signal analyser upgrades tackle RF crowding
Anritsu has enhanced the MS269xA signal analyser with four new functions, including spectrogram and spurious emission measurement functions.
The high performance and measurement capability of the MS272xB series make it easier for engineers and field technicians to design, deploy, and optimise the performance of wireless devices and networks ranging from commercial to defence and public safety.
The MS2724B's continuous 9kHz to 20GHz frequency coverage gives wireless professionals the range necessary for the most demanding harsh RF and physical environments.
Its very low phase noise of typically -104dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset at 2GHz, and 1Hz to 3MHz RBW range make it well suited for spectrum monitoring, security and intelligence needs, RF/microwave measurements, or cellular signal measurements.

Field tester speeds up to STM-16
New option allows both active testing with one transmitter and one receiver and simultaneous bidirectional monitoring of SDH lines with two receivers up to STM-16 speeds.
Both the MS2721B and MS2723B have similar high performance.
The MS2721B has low phase noise of -100dBc/Hz maximum at 10kHz offset up to 7.1GHz whereas the MS2723B has typical phase noise of -104dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset at 2GHz.
All three new models use the industry-leading Spectrum Master design, which combines high durability with light weight.
The MS2724B and MS2723B are only 3.4kg and the MS2721B is 3.1kg.
All three also have a standard built-in AM/FM/SSB demodulator and built-in preamplifier.
These three models are the first in the Spectrum Master family to feature a quasi-peak detector and CISPR bandwidths for EMC precompliance testing.
RBW range of these units is 1Hz to 3MHz, as well.
Additionally, the MS2721B can be equipped with a tracking generator that provides calibrated output from 400kHz to 7.1GHz with a power range of 0 to -40dBm in 0.1dB steps.
The Spectrum Master design's inherent performance advantages are also realised with the MS2724B, MS2723B and MS2721B.
The MS2721B has best-in-class typical DANL of -163dBm at 1GHz in a 1Hz bandwidth while the MS2723B and MS2724B deliver a DANL of -156dBm at 1GHz (1Hz RBW) with preamplifier on and -139dBm with the preamplifier off.
These instruments have the fastest sweep speeds of any spectrum analyser in their respective classes.
To simplify measurements and ensure accuracy, they also have several smart measurements, including channel power ratio, Carrier to Interference ratio (C/I), and field strength.
Designed for the field, the MS272xB Spectrum Master models have a large display and provide more than two hours of battery life.
They can also be easily recharged using the lighter connection in a truck.
