Anritsu MS2724B Spectrum Master - Handheld Spectrum Analyzer
The Anritsu MS2724B Spectrum Master is a top-tier, hand-held spectrum analyzer engineered for precise analysis of cutting-edge wireless LAN and cellular signals, including 802.11a, 3G, ultra-wideband, and wireless medical patient monitoring systems. As the next iteration of Anritsu's best-selling model, the MS2724B boasts a compact and user-friendly design, making it ideally suited for both engineering labs and field applications up to 20 GHz.
Exceptional Performance Features
Weighing less than 8 pounds, this portable spectrum analyzer provides unparalleled measurement capabilities. It is optimized for assessing signals up to the fifth harmonic of 3G cellular phone base stations. Notable features include:
- Integration of spectrogram, signal strength, and RSSI options for versatile analysis.
- User-definable channel scanner option for effective interference mitigation in complex RF environments.
- Comprehensive measurement options including W-CDMA/HSDPA, CDMA, EVDO, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, TD-SCDMA, Fixed WiMAX, and Mobile WiMAX.
Smart Measurements
The MS2724B features numerous intelligent measurement capabilities, such as:
- Channel power and adjacent channel power ratio.
- Carrier to Interference ratio (C/I), field strength measurements, along with an integrated AM/FM/SSB demodulator.
Users can listen to demodulated signals via the internal speaker or through a standard 2.5 mm 3-wire headset.
Unmatched Sensitivity and Sweep Speed
The analyzer exhibits exceptional low phase noise at -104 dBc/Hz typical at 1 GHz @ 10 kHz offset, coupled with a typical Displayed Average Noise Level of -159 dBm at 1 GHz in a 1 Hz RBW. The resolution bandwidth range is adjustable from 1 Hz to 3 MHz, ensuring the fastest sweep speeds available in its class.
Storage and Connectivity
Utilize Compact Flash memory modules or USB Flash Drives to achieve limitless storage for spectral traces and setups. A 512 MB module allows for over 20,000 Spectrum Analyzer measurements to be stored seamlessly. Remote operation is facilitated through the Ethernet 10/100 Base-T connection, which supports SCPI programming, allowing for efficient uploads and downloads of measurements and setups.
