Spectrum Analyzer/Signal Analyzer MS2830A Microwave

■ Outline
The MS2830A-044/045 Signal Analyzer includes a spectrum analyzer function for measuring up to 110 GHz using an external mixer based on the 26.5 GHz/43 GHz upper frequency limit. It supports measurements of Tx characteristics, including adjacent channel leakage power, spectrum mask, and frequency counter, as well as spurious measurements requiring a wide dynamic range.

Installing the 10/31.25/62.5/125 MHz analysis bandwidth option adds signal analyzer functions for checking phenomena that are hard to check using a spectrum analyzer, such as frequency vs. time, phase vs. time, spectrogram, and CCDF. In addition, optional measurement software supports modulation analysis. Moreover, installing a preselector bypass option enables use of the signal analyzer and modulation analysis functions up to 26.5 GHz/43 GHz (MS2830A-044/045). Finally, it can be customized to support a range of application-specific measurements.

• Installing a microwave-band preamp supports measurement of weaker signals.
• Using the 1st local signal output as an external mixer supports measurement of high-frequency signals up to 110 GHz.
• Using the 1st IF signal output as a down converter supports analysis in combination with external equipment.

      Opt.006: Analysis Bandwidth 10 MHz (20 MHz max. sampling rate = 50 ns resolution)
      Opt.005: Analysis Bandwidth Extension to 31.25 MHz (50 MHz max. sampling rate = 20 ns resolution) [MS2830A-044]
      Opt.009: Bandwidth Extension to 31.25 MHz for Millimeter-wave (50 MHz max. sampling rate = 20 ns resolution) [MS2830A-045]
      Opt.077: Analysis Bandwidth Extension to 62.5 MHz (100 MHz max. sampling rate = 10 ns resolution)
      Opt.078: Analysis Bandwidth Extension to 125 MHz (200 MHz max. sampling rate = 5 ns resolution)
  
      Note: An image response is received when setting the bandwidth to more than 31.25 MHz.
                 This can be used when not inputting a signal frequency outside the MS2830A analysis bandwidth (125 MHz max.).
                 The MS2690A/91A/92A Signal Analyzer series is recommended for other measurement purposes.
• Excellent eco-friendly product with low power consumption of 190 VA min.
