The Spectrum Analyzer/Signal Analyzer MS2840A has an upper measurement frequency limit of 44.5 GHz and its carrier close-in SSB phase noise performance is overwhelmingly best-of-class for middle range models. The MS2840A supports measurements across a wide frequency band ranging from applications such as microwave wireless backhaul, requiring high phase-noise performance to measure transmitter carrier close-in spurious, to VHF/UHF private mobile radio (PMR). Connecting the High Performance Waveguide Mixer MA2806A/MA2808A to the MS2840A not only supports wide dynamic range measurements from 50 to 90 GHz but also eliminates image-response effects at wideband signal measurements, supporting millimeter-wave wideband wireless applications, such as wireless backhaul, automobile radar, WiGig, etc., as well as evaluation of millimeter-wave radar antenna sidelobe characteristics, which requires high sensitivity. Additionally, spectrum measurements up to 325 GHz are supported by connecting the External Mixer (Harmonic Mixer) MA27xxC series.

High close-in phase noise performance:
- –123 dBc/Hz (at 1 GHz center frequency, 10 kHz offset frequency with all frequency models)
- –138 dBc/Hz (at 1 GHz center frequency, 10 kHz offset frequency with 3.6 GHz and 6 GHz models, meas.)
- –140 dBc/Hz (at 150 MHz center frequency, 10 kHz offset frequency with 3.6 GHz and 6 GHz models, meas.)
Full range of built-in versatile and convenient functions for evaluating wireless Tx characteristics, such as Channel Power, Occupied Bandwidth, Adjacent Channel Leakage Power, Spectrum Mask, Frequency Counter, etc.
Frequency vs. Time, Power vs. Time, Phase vs. Time, Spectrogram, CCDF, etc., measurements up to 44.5 GHz using Signal Analyzer function (Resolution Bandwidth: 125 MHz max.)
Vector modulation analysis and analog measurements (FM/ΦM/AM)
Built-in signal generator option supports all-in-one wireless TRx and BER measurements
Measurement of phase noise characteristics of wireless equipment and local signal sources with built-in wireless using Phase Noise Measurement Function (option) making use of MS2840A excellent phase noise performance
Accurate noise figure (NF) measurements up to 44.5 GHz using Noise Figure Measurement Function (Option)

Anritsu’s VSA analysis strengths illustrated with a complex modulated true radar signal
This video presents the interests of using a Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) when trying to characterize a pulsed signal like the waveform of a radar which combines different modulation schemes inside its frequency carrier.

Capture and Replay from VSA to VSG
This video provides an introduction to the capture and replay function of a digitized signal in a VSA to be physically replayed with a VSG. This is illustrated with a practical example using a TPMS device.
