Features
Real time plus Sweep system
In real time system, the spectrum which occurs in an instant won’t be missed. It is optimum for analyzing a noise and a transitional phenomenon. On the other hand, the sweep system is suitable for observing at wide frequency range. Various applications can be covered by making good use of advantage of each system.
Sufficient analysis functions
In real time system, Spectrogram analysis and OverWrite analysis can be performed besides Spectrum analysis.
Time domain analysis expanding analyzer capability
In real time system, time domain analyses such as power vs. time, frequency vs. time, phase vs. time, IQ vs. time and Q vs. I are possible.
Fast OverWrite analysis of 720 frames/ sec
Since OverWrite analysis in real time system is processed at high speed as 720 frames/sec, even unnecessary spectrum which appears rarely isn’t missed.
Powerful trigger functions
In real time system, powerful trigger functions such as channel power trigger, power trigger, IF level trigger and external trigger can be used.
Real time operation by 20MHz maximum span
Since a signal can be observed with maximum span of 20MHz in real time system, the modulation signals of almost all of wireless communications can be captured.
Large memory of 16K frames and high speed USB communication
In real time system, data can be captured for a long time because the IQ memory is as large as 16K frames (64Mbytes). Moreover, IQ data can be transmitted to PC at speed of 19ms/frame.
Average noise level -162dBm/Hz
The average noise level of -162dBm/Hz at [MSA538/538TG/538E] and -157dBm/Hz at [MSA558/558E] is achieved.
At span 20kHz in real time mode, it is -140dBm and -135dBm respectively.
Compact and lightweight 1.8kg
The dimensions are as small as 162(W)×71(H)×265(D)mm, and the weight is only 1.8kg including the battery. It is very convenient for outdoor use and on business trip.
Four-hour battery operation
Lithium-ion battery MB400 (option) fully charged enables about four-hour battery operation at backlight off.
Data storage into USB memory
USB memory can be used as an external memory. The screen image is stored by BMP format. And the spectrum waveform, IQ data and setting parameters are stored by CSV format. Moreover, the screen image is copied on the optional USB printer as it is.
