Notice This prompted some to note specifically refers to methods
of operation of dangerous items. Fully understand and meet
the conditions referred to in this symbol can not be operated
before or treatment, or operation, or improper handling may
damage the instrument.
Before switching on the power switch of the instrument, you should
confirm whether the AC power supply voltage supplied by the external
AC-DC power adapter meets the requirements of the instrument.
Non-conforming power supply may damage the adapter or instrument.
Because there are many electrical connectors inside the instrument,
touching them may cause slight personal injury or damage to the instrument,
so only the personnel with maintenance training can remove the shell of the
instrument to maintain the instrument.

1 General description
This chapter will focus on the following main elements:
Main functions
Preventive Care
Inspection and calibration instruments
ESD Protection methods

E8900A Spectrum Analyzer User Manual

1.1 Main Function introduction
E8900A spectrum analyzer provides 5G-NR, LTE base analysis and signal
demodulation functions, spectrum analysis, interference analysis, signal
coverage functions and so on. Radio frequency power, EVM, constellation,
cell ID, signal power, signal to noise ratio and other indicators can be
measured by space interface or radio frequency.
E8900A also has the function of interference test, which can be
combined with DF series antenna to realize the positioning and search of
interference signals. This function can also be used for remote PAD test with
the optional PAD to find interference signals on the PAD. At the same time,
interference search function can be equipped with DF series antenna for fast
signal positioning. Meanwhile, E8900A also has the indoor and outdoor test
function of 5G-NR and LTE base stations, which is used for testing base
station coverage range. Finally, E8900A also has IQ data collection for
third-party development.
E8900A is a spectrum analyzer based on superheterodyne structure,
with a wider 9GHz spectrum span, a wider 100MHz IF bandwidth, and a
faster spectrum scan speed. It uses more advanced digital processing
technology and powerful hardware processors, with faster, stronger signal
processing and analysis capabilities.
E8900A spectrum analyzer with 10.1 inches TFT color touch-panel
display, it is also easy to observe the test results under strong light. It has a
lithium battery and can work continuously for about 2 hours.
This instrument is produced by Deviser Instruments in accordance with
the strict requirements of ISO9001 international quality management system
standard. In 1996, Deviser Instruments ISO9001 quality system passed the
international certification and was registered and recognized.
1.2 Preventive Care
Preventive care includes instrument surface cleaning, RF connector
cleaning and attachment cleaning. The surface of the instrument can be
cleaned with a soft cotton cloth or cotton ball dipped in water.
Note:Do not use solvent or corrosive liquid to clean the display screen.

E8900A 5G NR Spectrum Analyzer User Manual

Clean RF connector and inner conductor with cotton ball dipped in
anhydrous alcohol. The inner conductor of the N-type connector should be
free from damage and the surface should be smooth. Ensure the cable of test
port is free from stretching, twisting and breakage.
1.3 Inspection and calibration instructions
All branches or offices of Deviser Instruments are responsible for the
maintenance and calibration of the instrument once a year. In order to
ensure the normal operation of the instrument, we recommend customers
to do periodic maintenance and calibration.
1.4 ESD protection methods
The E8900A spectrum analyzer is susceptible to electrostatic damage,
like many high performance instruments. Coaxial cable and antenna often
accumulate a large amount of static charge, if the instrument discharge
operation, may damage the internal circuit of the instrument. Staff should be
clearly aware of the potential hazards of static electricity and take
appropriate preventive measures.
When inserting and unplugging the wire of the connection, the
maintenance personnel should have the aid of certain measures to be well
grounded.
Proficient in these operations to ensure a safe environment for
personnel and equipment.

2.1 Introduce the instrument
The E8900A spectrum analyzer can work continuously for about 2 hours
when the battery is fully charged, and can also work while charging through
the AC-DC power adapter.
Warning: users can only use power adapters and chargers licensed by
Deviser company. Make sure the outlet is clean and dry. Plug is
very hot, should be immediately disconnected, stop using.
Non-professionals should not open the equipment shell and
battery compartment.

Start up: Press the red power button on the front panel for 2 seconds,
the power indicator lights up, the instrument will start, wait for a few
seconds, and the instrument will enter the measurement interface.
Shut down: Press the power button, the indicator will flash, and the
interface will shut down. When the shutdown is completed, the indicator will
stop flashing and went out.
