Anritsu MS2602A

The Anritsu MS2602A Spectrum Analyzer is a modern high-performance spectrum analyzer which covers frequencies between 100 Hz to 8.5 GHz and can analyze frequencies up to three to five times higher the harmonics range of domestic digital cordless telephones (1.9 GHz), digital car phones and portable phones (1.5 GHz) and private mobile telephones (1.5 GHz).

The MS2602A has been designed to meet the needs of expanded use of frequencies in the quasi-microwave band and the trend toward higher performance and more digitized radio equipment.

Excellent reference level accuracy and amplitude frequency characteristics of the MS2602A allow measurements up to 2.0 GHz with an accuracy of ±1.1 dB (total level accuracy). Calibration is performed automatically from a precision internal calibration signal source.

The MS2602A uses an analog horizontal sweep signal, it accurately traces the linear spectrum and can accurately measure the level of fine linear peaks, such as spurious signals, without any vertical jitter.

The pre-trigger function displays the waveforms before the trigger point (one screen) and allows the rising/ falling edge times of burst signals to be measured accurately. An internal video trigger allows stable pre-trigger operation without an external trigger signal. The convenient overwrite display function lets you monitor changes in the rising/falling edge characteristics of burst analysis waveforms.

The gate width can be set with the cursor while viewing time domain burst waveforms. The gate width can also be set in the time domain mode while observing the spectrum after the gate by displaying both the frequency domain and time domain on the dual display.

The MS2602A simplifies such complicated measurements as average burst signal power, adjacent channel leakage power, occupied bandwidth, and burst rising/falling edge time template comparison measurement. High-speed processing displays the measured result in 0.8 seconds (processing time).

The channel separation of digital mobile communications equipment is wide and requires a high C/N over a wide frequency range of fifty to several hundred kilohertz.

The MS2602A uses a high purity local oscillator to realize a high C/N and wide dynamic range. The channel separation and bandwidth parameters of the adjacent channel leakage power measurement can be freely set.
