Spurious Emissions
In-Band and Out-of-Band spurious emissions can cause havoc with Tx-Rx communication systems. Real-time monitoring of spurious emissions from a transmitter or receiver can uncover unwanted signals before they interfere with other users of the radio spectrum, rendering your system noncompliant.
Occupied Bandwidth
Monitoring of a transmitter’s occupied bandwidth enables the user to determine if the transmitter is functioning properly.The MS2711B provides Xdb Down and % of power methods to assist users
in making transmitter occupied bandwidth measurements.
On-Site System Test
Convenient operating procedures, high sensitivity and excellent repeatability enables the MS2711B to pinpoint the smallest RF performance degradation.Har monic distor tion, Channel Power, Occupied Bandwidth, Antenna-to-Antenna isolation and potential interference problems can be detected before small problems grow into big, costly, time-consuming headaches and unwanted site downtime.
Channel Power
One of the most common measurements for transmitters is the channel power measurement. Channel power measures power and power spectral density in a given bandwidth and can quickly confirm if a transmitter is operating in compliance with system specification.
Adjacent Channel Power
The adjacent channel power measurement allows the user
to measure the amount of (or ratio of) power leakage into
adjacent radio
channels.
