1. Outline

1.1 Product outlines

The 2650A series are authentic s pectrum an alyzers in a compact a nd l ightweight f orm f actor pr oviding performance and functions comparable to large-size bench type instruments. The features are as follows.
1) Compact and lightweight 1.8 kg.
The dimensions are 162(W)×71(H)×265(D) mm, and the weight is only 1.8 kg including the battery, making the instrument very convenient for field use.
2) Large color TFT display
5.7 inches, 640×480 color LCD
3) Four hours battery operation
The included Lithium-ion battery, when fully charged, can provide power for up to four hours of operation with the backlight turned off. And about 3 ½ hours with the backlight set to the minimum level.
4) USB host adapter
USB host port can be used with removable storage USB flash drives. The screen image is stored as BMP format, and the spectrum and the setting parameters are stored as CSV format. The port conforms to USB 1.1 standards and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
5) USB device for PC connectivity
USB interface with transfer rates up to 12 Mbps maximum (conform to USB 1.1 standards).
6) Accurate frequency measurement by PLL synthesizer
The center frequency is accurately set by PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesizer. Moreover, the frequency counter (factory option) enables more accurate measurements of the frequency of a signal.
7) Average noise level -127 dBm
The low average noise level of -127 dBm @ 1 GHz provides a wide dynamic range.
8) 100 dB display dynamic range
Wide dynamic range display with a display scale of 100 dB/10div (at 10 dB/div) in the amplitude axis.
9) Easy operation with AUTO mode
Auto range operation: RBW, VBW and sweep time are automatically selected based on the frequency span.
Auto tuning operation: The center frequency is adjusted to the maximum level within full span, and the optimum
RBW, VBW and sweep time are chosen.

The sweep time can be set in the range from 10 ms to 30 s or AUTO. This key can also select the detection mode.
13) Hold/Run key
Used to hold or run measurements.
9
14) Marker & Peak search key
This key is used for setting marker or peak search.
15) Save/Load k ey
Used for saving or loading a spectrum or settings parameters.
16) Copy key
This key allows the screen image to be printed on USB printer (option) or stored in USB memory.
17) UTIL key
Used for setting label entry, clock, and buzzer.
18) Display control k ey
Used for setting color, backlight ON/OFF or brightness of backlight.
19) Rotary encoder
This is used for adjusting settings and parameters.
20) Power switch
This is for power ON or OFF.
21) Input connector
N(J) connector
22) Indicator for charg ing condition
Two color LED indicates the charging conditions of battery.
23) Input connector for DC power source
Connect AC adaptor MA400.
24) USB A plug
For connecting USB printer (option) or USB memory.
25) USB B plug
For interfacing with a PC
