Economy Microwave Spectrum Analyzer 9 kHz to 13 GHz Model: MS2718B
     The MS2718B Economy Microwave Spectrum Analyzer is designed to be an affordable solution for bench testing of microwave components, subsystems, and systems. Designed for engineers and technicians needing advanced yet economical spectrum analysis tools, the MS2718B redefines the economy class by delivering impressive value and lowering cost-of-test. It can serve both the R&D test bench as well as the production line applications. The MS2718B can be enhanced with up to 15 wireless options for testing protocols frim GSM to Mobile WiMAX and TD-SCDMA. With its upper frequency range of 13 GHz, the MS 2718B brings economic spectrum measurements to many commercial, as well as aerospace and defense microwave system applications. This includes high-technology systems operating in the X-band range. You can measure signal performance on a wide variety of microwave systems; radar, satellite and terrestrial communications, and complex military communications and defense electronics systems. In addition to all those general purpose measurements you can also expand your testing capabilities with thirteen specialized optional wireless test procedures described below. The MS2718B offers a full suite of measurement features such as RMS detection, extensive marker functions, including counted markers, and marker noise measurements, limit testing, and AM/FM/SSB demodulator and more. A quasi-peak detector is standard and CISPR bandwidths allow for EMC pre-compliance testing. A 37.8 MHz IF output option allows users to do their own signal processing. Bandwidths of 7, 10, or 16 MHz can be selected. To simplify measurements and ensure accuracy, several smart measurement sequences are built into the MS2718B, including channel power, adjacent channel power ratio, carrier to interference ratio (C/I), and field strength. An AM/FM/SSB demodulator is included. It also offers unexpected performance bonuses such as 65 dB range input step attenuator and 20 watt input protection which can significantly reduce the concern of damage by inexperienced operators. Optional high accuracy power meter functionality supports Anritsu’s 6 GHz PSN50 sensor with +/- 0.16 dB power measurement accuracy. The MS2718B also offers optional wide 10 MHz capture bandwidth and optional W-CDMA/HSDPA RF measurements and W-CDMA demodulation for simplifying test of Node-B transmitters. The MS2718B spectrum analyzer has low phase noise of -102 dBc/Hz typical at 1 GHz @ 10 kHz offset, best in its class typical DANL of -159 dBm at 1 GHz in a 1 Hz RBW, resolution bandwidth (RBW) range of 1 Hz to 3 MHz and video bandwidth (VBW) range of 1 Hz to 3 MHz. It also has the fastest sweep speeds of any spectrum analyzer in its class. Features & Benefits Powerful measurement capabilities
Innovative measurement and data management
Applications Exceptional performance, advanced capabilities, and value enable the MS2718B to simplify measurements on microwave components, subsystem, and systems for manufacturing, R&D, and general purpose applications. Then add to your measurement functions with 15 wireless options. Typical applications include:
LabVIEW ® is a registered trademark of National Instrument Corporation Options and Phase Noise Software: Option 007, Secure Data Operation, prevents the user from storing measurement setup information onto the internal file storage location. Setup and measurement information can only be stored to the external Compact Flash memory module, or an external USB memory device. Option 17 adds a GPIB interface. Option 19 adds support for the Anritsu PSN50 High Accuracy Power Meter Sensors Option 89 IF Output for the MS2718B provides an IF signal at a center frequency of 37.8 MHz out of a BNC female connector when the instrument span is set to zero span. The user can select the three extra-wide IF bandwidths of 16 MHz, 10 MHz and 7 MHz. Phase Noise Measurement Software, part number 2300-517, runs on an external PC (not supplied) to control the MS2718B via the Ethernet interface. The software provides multiple phase noise trace plots on the same scale, and includes marker functionality to provide measurement of source jitter in seconds, degrees, or Hz by integrating the measured phase noise between selectable markers. Wireless Test Options: The MS2718B Economy Spectrum Analyzer is much more than just another spectrum analyzer. In addition to making swept spectrum measurements, engineers and technicians can rely on this tool to accurately measure transmitter RF and modulation quality on critical wireless system components and sub-assemblies. These software test programs are pre-written test routines, intended to test signal performance against the wireless industry specifications. There are now 15 different functional test options available for specific performance testing of wireless systems, ranging from the hot new wireless technology of Mobile WiMAX (802.16) to the venerable GSM, and six other system formats. For each wireless format, there are two options, one for characterizing the RF signal performance and the other for the modulation functions. Within any given system format, a long list of test functions are performed, with displays showing both measured data as well as computed characterizations.
