1.1 Overview of Signal Analyzer
The MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A Signal Analyzer (hereinafter, referred
to as “MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A”) can measure the transmitter
characteristics of wireless devices for various types of mobile
communications quickly, accurately, and easily.
The Signal Analyzer function can achieve high-speed spectrum analysis
and simultaneous analysis on the frequency and time axes, which cannot
be achieved by a conventional sweep type spectrum analyzer, by using
FFT processing (fast Fourier transformation). Also, it can record the RF
input signal as digital data (digitize function).
The Signal Analyzer function has the following features:
•Broad frequency band (6 GHz/13.5 GHz/26.5 GHz)
•Broad analysis bandwidth (31.25 MHz/62.5 MHz*1/125 MHz*2)
•Continuous analysis of captured data is available
•High-capacity waveform memory is installed
•High-speed spectrum analysis is available
•Wide variety of measurement functions
These characteristics enable the MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A to be
used for various applications, from research and development to
manufacturing.
*1: 62.5 MHz can be set only when Option 078 Analysis Bandwidth
(hereafter, Option 078) is installed.
*2: 125 MHz can be set only when Option 004 Wideband Analysis
Hardware or Option 078 Analysis Bandwidth (hereafter, Option 078) is
installed.
