The Anritsu MS2717A delivers affordable spectrum analysis with superior performance, advanced capabilities,
and modern WCDMA signal analysis.
Anritsu MS2717A Economy Spectrum Analyzer
Introduction
Engineers in R&D and manufacturing need advanced tools for spectrum analysis of wireless components in the critical
hysical layer of modern communication systems. For best value and overall satisfaction, these general purpose tools must
p
eliver performance, capabilities, and the ability to lower the cost of testing.
d
The MS2717A is Anritsu’s new Economy Spectrum Analyzer with superior performance and advanced capabilities. Take a
closer look and we think you will agree that the MS2717A redefines the economy class by delivering superior spectrum
analyzer performance at a surprisingly affordable price.
Covering the 100 kHz to 7.1 GHz range, the MS2717A easily handles most wireless frequencies. The hallmark of the
S2717A is the phase noise performance: typical –110 dBc/Hz SSB phase noise at 10 kHz offsets up to 6 GHz, which
M
easily measures most wireless local oscillators and synthesizers. The superior dynamic range of 100 dB means fast and
precise testing of wireless components that require exceptional linearity. The wide 8 MHz capture bandwidth supports optional WCDMA/HSDPA and WCDMA demodulator measurements for simplifying test of Node-B transmitters. Best of all,
the MS2717A is ergonomically designed so controls are easy-to-learn and easy-to-use for improving productivity in
manufacturing, R&D, and general purpose testing.
Standard Measurements
• ACPR: Measures power levels in the channels
immediately above and below the center channel.
Occupied Bandwidth: Measures 99%
•
