Chapter 1
General Information
Introduction
This chapter provides a description, performance specifications, optional accessories, pre-
ventive maintenance, and calibration requirements for the Anritsu Hand Held Spectrum An-
alyzer model listed below. Throughout this manual, this instrument may be referred to as an
Anritsu HHSA.
Model Frequency Range
MS2711B 100 kHz to 3000 MHz
Description
The Anritsu HHSA is a synthesizer-based hand held spectrum analyzer that provides quick
and accurate signal results. Measurements can be easily made by using the main instrument
functions: frequency, span, amplitude and bandwidth. Dedicated keys for common func-
tions and a familiar calculator type keypad are available for fast data entry. Automatic time
and date stamping of measurement data of up to 200 results is provided as is storage and re-
call of up to 10 measurement setups. A large, high-resolution liquid crystal display (LCD)
provides easy viewing in a variety of lighting conditions. The Anritsu HHSA is capable of
up to two and one-half hours of continuous operation from a fully charged battery and can
be operated from a 12.5 Vdc source (which will also simultaneously charge the battery).
Built-in energy conservation features can be used to extend battery life over an eight-hour
workday.
The Anritsu HHSA is designed for monitoring, measuring, and analyzing signal environ-
ments. Typical measurements include: in-band interference, transmit spectrum analysis, an-
tenna isolation and cell area interference. A full range of marker capabilities such as peak,
center and delta functions are provided for faster, more comprehensive measurement of dis-
played signals. Multiple limit lines are available for creating quick, simple pass/fail mea-
surements. A menu option provides for an audible beep when the limit value is exceeded.
To permit use in low-light environments, the LCD can be back lit using a front panel key.
Standard Accessories
Anritsu Software Tools, a PC-based software program, provides an on-line database record
for storing measurement data. Software Tools can also convert the Anritsu HHSA display
to a Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT4/2000/ME/XP graphic. Measurements stored in the
Anritsu HHSA internal memory can be down-loaded to a PC using the included null-mo-
dem serial cable. Once stored, the graphic trace can then be displayed, scaled, or enhanced
with markers and limit lines. Historical graphs can be overlaid with current data using the
PC mouse in a drag-and-drop fashion. The underlying data can be extracted and used in
spreadsheets or for other analytical tasks.

Preventive Maintenance
Anritsu HHSA preventive maintenance consists of cleaning the unit and inspecting and
cleaning the RF connector on the instrument and all accessories.
Clean the Anritsu HHSA with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a
mild cleaning solution.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abra-
sive cleaners.
Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured alco-
hol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N (f) connectors and the pins of the
N(m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether
the connectors are good, gauge the connectors to confirm that their dimensions are correct.
Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in appearance,
not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.
Calibration
The Anritsu HHSA loads factory calibration data during start-up, eliminating the need for
daily calibration checks.
Annual Calibration
Although the Anritsu HHSA does not require daily field calibration, Anritsu recommends
an annual calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu service centers. Anritsu
service centers are listed in Table 1-3 beginning on the following page.
ESD Cautions
The MS2711B, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to ESD damage.
Very often, coaxial cables and antennas build up a static charge, which, if allowed to dis-
charge by connecting to the MS2711B, may damage the MS2711B input circuitry.
MS2711B operators should be aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all neces-
sary precautions. Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards like
JEDEC-625 (EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and
ESDS devices, equipment, and practices.
As these apply to the MS2711B, it is recommended to dissipate any static charges that may
be present before connecting the coaxial cables or antennas to the MS2711B. This may be
as simple as temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna prior to at-
taching to the MS2711B. It is important to remember that the operator may also carry a
static charge that can cause damage. Following the practices outlined in the above standards
will insure a safe environment for both personnel and equipment.

Chapter 2
Quick Start Guide
Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of the Anritsu MS2711B HHSA. The intent of this
chapter is to provide the user with a starting point for making basic measurements. For
more detailed information, users may want to consult Chapter 3, Key Functions or Chapter
4, Measurement Fundamentals.
Turning the MS2711B On for the First Time
The Anritsu MS2711B HHSA is a lightweight, hand held, battery operated unit designed
specifically for field environments and applications requiring mobility. It is capable of up to
2.5 hours of continuous operation from a fully charged, field-replaceable battery. Built-in
energy conservation features allow battery life to be extended over an eight-hour workday.
The Anritsu MS2711B HHSA can also be operated from a 12.5 Vdc source (which will also
simultaneously charge the battery). This can be achieved with either the Anritsu AC-DC
Adapter (P/N 40-115) or 12.5 Vdc Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter (P/N 806-62).
Both items are included as standard accessories (see Chapter 1).
Press the ON/OFF front panel button (Figure 2-1).
The HHSA takes about five seconds to perform a series of self-diagnostic routines. At com-
pletion, the screen displays the Anritsu logo, the model number, and the version of firm-
ware. It also prompts you to press ENTER to continue.

The Anritsu HHSA is now ready for operation. No additional keystrokes or installation are
required. For information on making measurements with the Anritsu HHSA, refer to
“Making a Basic Measurement,” on page 2-15. For advanced applications, refer to Chapter
4, Measurement Fundamentals, Chapter 6, Preamplifier, and Chapter 7, Tracking Genera-
tor.
Front Panel Overview
The Anritsu HHSA menu-driven user interface is easy to use and requires little training.
Hard keys on the front panel are used to initiate function-specific menus. There are four
function hard keys located below the display: Mode, Frequency/Span, Amplitude and
Bandwidth/Sweep.
There are seventeen keypad hard keys located to the right of the display. Twelve of the key-
pad hard keys are dual purpose, depending on the current mode of operation. The dual pur-
pose keys are labeled with one function in black, the other in blue.
There are also six soft keys that change function depending upon the current mode selec-
tion. The current soft key function is indicated in the active function block to the right of
the display. The locations of the different keys are illustrated in Figure 2-2, below.
