For post processing data collected on your instrument utilize Master Software Tools – a PC program included with the instrument. It provides powerful data analysis tools for spectrum clearing and interference monitoring. And the Remote Access Tool allows the user to see and control the instrument over a LAN connection.

Weighing about 8 pounds fully loaded, including a Li-Ion battery, the fully functional Spectrum Master MS2723C family of handheld spectrum analyzers are light enough to take anywhere, including up a tower.

Continuous frequency coverage from 9 kHz to 13 GHz gives the wireless professional the performance needed for the most demanding measurements. Whether your application is spectrum monitoring, hidden signal detection, RF and microwave signal measurements, microwave backhaul testing or cellular signal measurements, the Spectrum Master MS2723C gives you the tools you need to make the job easier and more productive.

Applications

Convenient operating procedures, high sensitivity, excellent repeatability and exceptional performance enable the MS2723C to simplify measurements on wireless systems for easy verification of system compliance. Typical applications include:

Transmitter Spectrum Analysis - occupied bandwidth, channel power, adjacent channel power ratio and modulation
Received Signal Analysis - location and identification of in-band interference and out-of-band spurious signals and spectral masks
Signal Strength Mapping - to determine the most suitable location for antennas, base stations and repeaters
Field analysis of 3G signals – fast sweep speed, field-swappable battery, smart measurements and daylight-viewable display make the MS2723C an ideal choice for the challenge of rugged environments
Broadcast measurement AM & FM analog and IBOC proofing measurements
Interference mitigation in many diverse situations including wireless patient telemetry in hospitals
Burst detect captures 200 μs bursts the first time, every time
