Low Noise Floor: Good for small signal measurement Features -117dBm
Features Friendly User Interface High resolution and TFT color LCD provides the clear and nice measurement result quality.
Features Entry Data Area: The signal trace is no more overlaid by the entry data on LCD. Center :2.400GHz Center :2.400GHz
Status Information Presented by ICONS: To indicate the working status of Spectrum Analyzer. Trace identification and its working mode Features :Trace A is working under either one of Clear and Write, Average, View, Peak hold modes. Indication of signal is measured under the specific settings. :The amplitude is offset because 75 ohm input resistance, correction table on, or extra gain / loss is employed. :One of RBW, VBW or Sweep Time is in the Manual mode which will cause the signal looked abnormal, or slow the sweep.
Status Information Presented by ICONS: Features To indicate the current working status of Spectrum Analyzer. Cases of SA is worked under the specific modes. :Peak (marker) Track mode is selected, the peak marker will repeat Peak search + Marker to Center functions. :Sequence is ON and the SA is automated. :The external reference signal is connected and works. :The TG normalization is on. :The Trigger function is set on external trigger source :The DC 12V power battery indicator.
Autoset Function: Features Signal is automatically measured and located at the display center. The amplitude and span can be assigned and functioned in manual mode.
Features Sequence Function: Front panel operations can be automated with built-in in Sequence programming functions. Performing automation without PC connected.
A, B, C Traces : To distinguish different signals Features
Features Split Windows: Two test setups can work simultaneously.
Limit Line Editing to define the test zone Features
3 criteria are allowed for Pass/Fail test : Entire Curve, Maximum or Minimum in defined zone Features
5 pairs of Marker-ΔMarker with Marker Table Features
10 Markers with Marker Table Features
Features ACPR Measurement with Color bars and large Characters
Features ACPR (Adjacent Channel Power Ratio) Measurement: Measure of adj. channel leakage related to Main Ch. P ch LACPR1= UACPR1= LACPR2= P L1 P ch P u1 P ch P L2 P ch UACPR2= P u2 P ch P L2 P L1 P U1 P U2 All measurement all resulted in db. Greater db number means greater (better) rejection ratio between channels.
ACPR Measurement: Parameter Definition Adj Ch BW 2 Adj Ch Adj Ch Adj Ch BW 1 Ch BW BW 1 BW 2 P ch Features Must Parameters: CH BW; Adj CH BW 1; Adj CH Offset 1; Adj CH BW 2*; Adj CH Offset 2*; P L1 P U1 Parameters of Upper and Lower adjacent channels are symmetrical to the main channel. P L2 P U2 Adj Ch Offset Adj Ch Offset Adj Ch 1 1 Adj Ch Offset2 Offset2 *: Are must only the 2nd adjacent channel measurements are demanded.
ACPR Measurement Review Features
Features OCBW (Occupied BW) Measurement
Features OCBW Measurement : Measure of BW which takes the specified percentage BW in the Channel CH BW Must Parameters: CH BW; OCBW %; OCBW Lesser OCBW number at the specified % means more concentrated power distribution in the channel.
N-dB BW Measurement Features
Features USB Interface : Link to Memory Stick, PC, Printer
Features VGA Direct output : Convenient for Remote Monitoring EMI Lab Chamber
Features VGA Direct output : Convenient for Demonstration Training, School
