The MS2840A Spectrum/Signal Analyzer is a high-performance instrument offering best-in-class close-in phase noise, making it ideal for R&D and manufacturing of wireless transmission equipment and RF components. Supporting a frequency range up to 44.5 GHz, it enables precision measurements for transmitter spurious, noise figure, and advanced vector modulation analysis in applications ranging from microwave backhaul to private mobile radio (PMR) systems..
The Anritsu MS2840A is engineered for professionals needing ultra-low phase noise signal analysis and advanced spectrum evaluation in high-frequency systems. With support for frequencies up to 44.5 GHz, this analyzer stands out in its class by offering exceptionally clean spectral performance, especially for carrier close-in measurements.
Its phase noise performance of –123 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz (and up to –140 dBc/Hz at 150 MHz on certain models) ensures high fidelity analysis of RF carriers, spurious emissions, and oscillator stability — essential in developing microwave wireless links, VHF/UHF PMR systems, and sensitive transmitter designs.
The signal analyzer mode supports visualization tools like Power vs. Time, Spectrogram, CCDF, and Phase vs. Time with up to 125 MHz resolution bandwidth, providing versatile signal diagnostics. Built-in modulation and demodulation functions extend its utility to analog and vector signal analysis, enabling real-time insights into communication quality.
Optional upgrades for noise figure measurement and phase noise testing make the MS2840A a true all-in-one test platform. These features eliminate the need for external setups, ensuring cost-effective and space-saving lab configurations for both R&D and production lines.
