1.1 Overview of Signal Analyzer

The MS2830A, MS2840A, and MS2850A Signal Analyzer is a spectrum

analyzer to which options such as real-time signal analysis and vector

modulation analysis can be added.

The signal analyzer application (hereinafter “this application”) enables

high-speed and high-accuracy signal processing of wide-ranging analyses

at full-span, a characteristic of conventional sweep-type spectrum

analyzers, using a digital IF block. In addition, the FFT process

(high-speed Fourier conversion) realizes high-speed spectrum analysis

and simultaneous analysis on frequency and time axes not possible with

conventional sweep-type spectrum analyzers. Also, added option enables

recording of the RF input signal as digital data (digitize function). It can

be used in a variety of applications from research and development to

manufacturing thanks to its characteristics.

The Signal Analyzer function has the following features:

•Broad frequency band

MS2830A: 3.6 GHz/6 GHz/13.5 GHz/26.5 GHz/43 GHz

MS2840A: 3.6 GHz/6 GHz/26.5 GHz/44.5 GHz

MS2850A: 32 GHz/44.5 GHz

•Broad analysis bandwidth

MS2830A-006/106 10 MHz

MS2830A-005/105/007/009/109 31.25 MHz

MS2830A-077 62.5 MHz

MS2830A-078 125 MHz

MS2840A-006/106 10 MHz

MS2840A-005/105/009/109 31.25 MHz

MS2840A-077/177 62.5 MHz

MS2840A-078/178 125 MHz

MS2850A-032 255 MHz

MS2850A-033/133 510 MHz

MS2850A-034/134 1 MHz

•High dynamic range

•High-speed measurement

•High-speed, high-accuracy signal analysis using digital IF

•Enables time-continuous analysis of loaded data

•Large-capacity waveform memory and digitization function that

records RF signals without missing.
