Spectrum Analyzer/Signal Analyzer

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 MHz/31.25 MHz bandwidth analysis 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.

The MS2830A is a spectrum analyzer, signal analyzer and signal generator with top-class measurement speed at medium-class price. It has best-of-class dynamic range (average noise level [DANL]: –153 dBm, third-order intermodulation distortion [TOI]: +15 dBm) and excellent ±0.3 dB (typ.) total level accuracy using unique level calibration technology.

The MS2830A supports an optional vector signal generator (VSG) and can be used as a reference signal source for tests of parts' Tx characteristics or as a signal source for tests of Rx characteristics. Installing the VSG option cuts investment costs and footprint size. The IQproducer PC software generates waveform patterns for the VSG, supporting various communication methods, including LTE FDD, LTE TDD (TD-LTE), Mobile WiMAX, etc.

10 MHz and 31.25 MHz Modulation Analysis Bandwidth options can also be installed along with various measurement software tools supporting PC-free modulation analysis of various communication systems. For example, installing the LTE Downlink/Uplink Measurement Software and LTE IQproducer LTE supports Tx characteristics/modulation analysis for LTE FDD BTS and Rx characteristics tests. Installing the LTE TDD Downlink Measurement Software and LTE TDD IQproducer supports Tx characteristics/modulation analysis for LTE TDD (TD-LTE) and Rx characteristics tests. The measurement software options support key wireless communication systems, such as Mobile WiMAX, W-CDMA/HSPA/HSPA Evolution, GSM/EDGE, TD-SCDMA, CDMA2000/1xEV-DO, as well as 3GPP LTE FDD and 3GPP LTE TDD (TD-LTE). Additionally, there are general-purpose analysis software tools for modulation analysis of multiplex TDMA systems using BPSK, QPSK, π/4 DPQPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM, 2FSK, and 4FSK modulation methods.
