MS2721B - Anritsu Spectrum Analyzers

The MS2721B handheld spectrum analyzer is designed to conduct highly accurate analysis on the new wave of wireless LAN and cellular signals, including 802.11a, 3G, ultra-wideband, WiMAX, and wireless medical patient monitoring systems. The MS2721B is ideal for AM and FM broadcast proofing because the wide dynamic range and low phase noise make NRSC measurements on analog and IBOC signals easy with no need for an external carrier notch filter.  The MS2721B is a small and easy to use portable spectrum analyzer with unprecedented measurement capability for applications up to 7.1 GHz. Weighing in at less than 7 pounds, it is equally at home on the engineering bench and in the field.

Other members of the B series family include the MS2723B that covers up to 13 GHz and the MS2724B that covers up to 20 GHz.

Options for this instrument enable the user to add WCDMA, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, and HSDPA measurement.  Options for measuring and demodulating fixed WiMAX signals are available.  The tracking generator option delivers specified performance from 400 kHz to 7.1 GHz.  A GPS receiver can be added to allow measurements to location-stamped and to greatly improve time base accuracy.

Another option adds spectrogram, signal strength and RSSI.  There is an option to add a user definable channel scanner option that is excellent for interference mitigation work in complicated RF environments.
