The Anritsu MS2850A spectrum and signal analyzer is designed to meet the demanding requirements of wideband signal analysis for next-gen technologies like 5G mobile, satellite communications, and mmWave systems. With its maximum 1 GHz analysis bandwidth, it provides excellent in-band performance and the ability to analyze complex multicarrier signals.

This benchtop analyzer supports frequency coverage up to 44.5 GHz, allowing complete testing from sub-6 GHz to mmWave without switching devices. Its high dynamic range of over 140 dB enables precise EVM measurements even at high frequencies like 28 GHz.

The MS2850A is equipped with a large internal memory (32 GB) that allows up to 24 seconds of waveform capture at 100 MHz span, ideal for in-depth time-domain and frequency-domain analysis. It also integrates FFT-based spectrum and spectrogram views, and 5G evaluation software for multicarrier and phase tracking analysis.

With options like 510 MHz and 1 GHz bandwidth, and PCIe/USB 3.0 interfaces, the MS2850A ensures fast data processing and analysis. The analyzer’s exceptional SFDR of -70 dBc over high frequencies and precise phase/amplitude flatness provide accurate test results for R&D and production labs.

  • 1 GHz Analysis Bandwidth: Ideal for 5G and broadcast satellite measurements with support for up to eight 100 MHz carriers.

  • Wide Frequency Range: Covers 9 kHz to 32 GHz or 44.5 GHz, enabling sub-6 GHz and mmWave analysis in a single unit.

  • High Dynamic Range: Offers >140 dB dynamic range at 28 GHz (0 dBm ADC clipping level, DANL -142 dBm/Hz).

  • Low Phase & Amplitude Flatness: Ensures precise amplitude and phase evaluations with ±1.2 dB and 5° p-p at ±500 MHz around 28 GHz.

  • High SFDR: Achieves -70 dBc (typ.) spurious-free dynamic range above 4.2 GHz.

  • Large Internal Memory: 32 GB memory enables long-duration signal capture (e.g., 24 seconds at 100 MHz span).

  • Advanced Analysis Tools: Spectrum/spectrogram displays and 5G measurement software support efficient R&D.

  • High-Speed Data Transfer: Optional PCIe/USB 3.0 interface reduces transfer time of large captured signals.
