Measurements can easily be made by using the main instrument functions: frequency, span, amplitude, and bandwidth. Dedicated keys for common functions and a familiar calculator-type keypad are available for fast data entry.

Typical measurements include: in-band interference and transmit spectrum analysis, plus cell site and 802.11a/b/g interference testing. Options are available for RF, advanced demodulation, and over-the-air (OTA) measurement. A full range of marker capabilities (such as peak, center, and delta functions) are provided for faster, more comprehensive analysis of displayed signals. Upper and lower multi-segmented limit lines are available to create quick, simple pass/fail measurements. A menu option provides for an audible alert when a limit value is exceeded.

The bright daylight-viewable, high-resolution, color liquid crystal display (LCD) provides easy viewing in a variety of lighting conditions. The Spectrum Master is capable of up to 3 hours of continuous operation from a fully charged battery and can be operated from a 12 VDC source, which simultaneously charges the battery.

The combination of a touch screen and keypad enables users to navigate menus with the touch screen and enter numbers with the keypad.

Time and date stamping of measurement data is automatic. The internal memory provides for the storage and recall of up to 1000 measurement setups and up to 1000 traces. Measurements and setups can be stored in a USB flash drive or transferred to a PC by using the included USB cable.

Not all after-market USB drives are compatible with the Spectrum Master. Many drives come with a second partition that contains proprietary firmware. This

Note partition must be removed. Only one partition is allowed. Refer to the individual manufacturer for instructions on how to remove it. You may also try reformatting a drive that contains a single partition using FAT32 format.

1-3 Calibration and Verification

Anritsu recommends annual calibration and performance verification by local Anritsu service centers. The Spectrum Master is self-calibrating and there are no field-adjustable components. Contact information for Anritsu Service Centers is available at: http://www.anritsu.com/contact-us.

1-4 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

Instrument care and preventive maintenance consist of cleaning the unit and inspecting and cleaning the RF connectors and all accessories. Clean the instrument with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or water and a mild cleaning solution.

Caution To avoid damaging the display or case, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Connector Care

Clean the RF connectors and center pins with a cotton swab dampened with denatured alcohol. Visually inspect the connectors. The fingers of the N(f) connectors and the pins of the N(m) connectors should be unbroken and uniform in appearance. If you are unsure whether the connectors are undamaged, gauge the connectors to confirm that the dimensions are correct. Visually inspect the test port cable(s). The test port cable should be uniform in appearance, and not stretched, kinked, dented, or broken.

To prevent damage to your instrument, do not use pliers or a plain wrench to tighten the Type-N connectors. The recommended torque is 12 lbf·in to 15 lbf·in (1.36 N·m to 1.70 N·m). Inadequate torque settings can affect measurement accuracy. Over-tightening connectors can damage the cable, the connector, the instrument, or all of these items.

Visually inspect connectors for general wear, cleanliness, and for damage such as bent pins or connector rings. Repair or replace damaged connectors immediately. Dirty connectors can limit the accuracy of your measurements. Damaged connectors can harm the instrument. Connection of cables carrying an electrostatic potential, excess power, or excess voltage can damage the connector, the instrument, or both.

Connecting Procedure

1.Carefully align the connectors. The male connector center pin must slip concentrically into the contact fingers of the female connector.

2.Push connectors straight together. Do not twist or screw them together. A slight resistance can usually be felt as the center conductors mate.

3.To tighten, turn the connector nut, not the connector body. Major damage can occur to the center conductor and to the outer conductor if the connector body is twisted.

4.If you use a torque wrench, initially tighten by hand so that approximately 1/8 turn or 45 degrees of rotation remains for the final tightening with the torque wrench.

Relieve any side pressure on the connection (such as from long or heavy cables) in order to assure consistent torque. Use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning while tightening with the torque wrench.

Do not over-torque the connector.

1-4 Instrument Care and Preventive Maintenance

General Information

Disconnecting Procedure

1.If a wrench is needed, use an open-end wrench to keep the connector body from turning while loosening with a second wrench.

2.Complete the disconnection by hand, turning only the connector nut.

3.Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting or bending.

ESD Caution

The Spectrum Master, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Coaxial cables and antennas often build up a static charge, which (if allowed to discharge by connecting directly to the instrument without discharging the static charge) may damage the Spectrum Master input circuitry. Instrument operators must be aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all necessary precautions.

Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards such as JEDEC-625 (EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686, which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices, equipment, and practices. Because these apply to the Spectrum Master, it is recommended that any static charges that may be present be dissipated before connecting coaxial cables or antennas to the instrument. This may be as simple as temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna prior to attaching to the Spectrum Master. It is important to remember that the operator may also carry a static charge that can cause damage. Following the practices outlined in the above standards will ensure a safe environment for both personnel and equipment.

RF Input Warning

The Anritsu Spectrum Master is a sensitive measuring instrument designed to measure low power levels. Avoid damaging this sensitive circuitry by observing the maximum input levels printed on the instrument connector labeling and specified in the product technical data sheet.

Typical maximum input is +23 dBm (±50 VDC) and could be less if additional features, such as a preamplifier, are in use. Be sure to review the product technical data sheet or Anritsu website for recommended components and accessories that can help you protect your instrument. These include a variety of adapters, attenuators, filters, and RF power detection accessories.

The Calibrate Touch Screen submenu key is in the “System Menu” on page 5-3. When pressed, a message box is displayed with instructions for calibration. See Figure 2-11. Press Enter to begin calibration, or press Esc to cancel. Alternatively, you can press 1 while the message box is displayed to use the arrow keys for navigation. Refer to “Disable Touch Screen to Use Arrow Navigation”.

During calibration, press the crosshairs in sequence as they appear on the screen. The process takes less than one minute.

Calibrate Touch Screen Shortcut

Another way to access touch screen calibration is to press Shift, then 0 (zero). This displays the touch screen calibration message box shown in Figure 2-11. The shortcut can be used if your touch inputs do not correspond to the appropriate locations on the screen to such an extent that you cannot access the Calibrate Touch Screen submenu key.

Disable Touch Screen to Use Arrow Navigation

If the touch screen is not functioning, you can use Arrow Navigation to simulate pressing the touch screen main menu keys and submenu keys. From the touch screen calibration message box (see Figure 2-11), press 1 to display the arrow navigation message box, illustrated in Figure 2-12. Press 1 again to enter the arrow navigation mode, or press Esc to cancel.

Figure 2-12. Arrow Navigation Message Box

In arrow navigation mode, a red border highlights the currently selected key (see Figure 2-13 on page 2-15). Use the arrow keys to move the red selection box, then press the Menu key to activate the highlighted key. Only the main menu keys and submenu keys can be activated using Arrow Navigation. This feature does not move the red selection box into other areas of the touch screen, like the display title bar, sweep window, or the instrument settings area on the left.
