Bluetooth capability added to signal generator
IFR Systems has announced two new frequency models in different price ranges for its most popular signal source, the 2026 multisource generator.
We've designed the 2395 to meet the needs of a broad variety of maintenance and repair personnel who will appreciate the portability and the affordable price".
The 2935's fast processor and large memory will allow storage of up to 1000 screen traces and 2000 operational states.
The spectrum analyser's 50ohm input can accept signals between +30 and -110dBm while providing protection up to 50V DC.
Weighing 12kg, the 2395 26.5GHz spectrum analyser is lightweight and portable.
It comes standard with a large 6.4in colour LCD display.
The 2395 also includes a comprehensive marker system that allows as many as nine markers to be displayed at any one time, together with a marker table showing the frequency and level of each marker selected.
This feature allows multiple signals to be evaluated simultaneously.
In addition to normal markers, the 2395 provides delta markers, peak search, peak track, 1/delta, marker track, marker to centre, and marker to reference capability.
The 2395's user interface is designed to simplify many of the measurements required for the evaluation of today's sophisticated communications systems.
It allows semi-automated measurements of adjacent channel power, channel power, occupied bandwidth, emission bandwidth, XdB down, and harmonic distortion.
The 2395 also incorporates an autotune function, allowing an unknown signal to be captured quickly and displayed on the screen.
The 2395 will search its complete frequency range for the highest signal level, capture it, display it in the centre of the screen with both the span and resolution bandwidths set automatically to the optimal state for best viewing.
The 2395 spectrum analyser is available immediately with delivery 10 weeks upon receipt of order.
Options available include a high stability timebase, quasi-peak detectors and filters, digital resolution bandwidth filters, marker label edit software, and EMC software.
