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
MS2711A 100 kHz to 3000 MHz
Description
The Anritsu HHSA is a synthesized-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 different measurement setups. A large, high-resolution liquid crystal display
(LCD) provides easy viewing in a variety of lighting conditions. The Anritsu HHSA is ca-
pable 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 bat-
tery). 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. Limit lines are available for creating quick, simple pass/fail measurements.
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 HHSA 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 95/98ägraphic. Measurements stored in the Anritsu
HHSA internal memory can be down-loaded to a PC using the included null-modem serial
cable. Once stored, the graphic trace can then be displayed, scaled, or enhanced with mark-
ers 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 Verification
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.
The Anritsu HHSA itself is “self calibrating”, meaning that there are no field-adjustable
components.
Anritsu Service Centers
Table 1-3 provides a listing of the Anritsu Service Centers.

Quick Start Guide
Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of the Anritsu MS2711A HHSA. The intent of this
manual 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, Advanced Measurement Functions.
Turning the MS2711A On for the First Time
The Anritsu MS2711A 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 MS2711A 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, facing page).
The HHSA takes about five seconds to perform a series of self-diagnostic and
adjustment routines. At completion, the screen displays the Anritsu logo, the
model number, the version of firmware. It also prompts you to press ENTER to
continue.
The Anritsu HHSA is now ready for operation. No additional keystrokes or in-
stallation are required. For information on making measurements with the
Anritsu HHSA, refer to “Making a Basic Measurement,” on page 2-9. For ad-
vanced applications, refer to Chapter 4, “Advanced Measurement
Fundamentals.”

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 Band-
width/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.
Figures 2-3 and 2-4 illustrate the menu structures and soft key labels for each menu selec-
tion. Refer to Chapter 3, Key Functions, for more detailed hard and soft key descriptions.
