2650A/2652A/2651 and 8.5 GHz @ 2658A), and then it is adjusted to the center of the screen, and the
optimum setting parameters are set. In the case when in zero span, full span, input signal level lower than –40
dBm and input frequency lower than 50 MHz, this function will not work correctly.
9) M easuring function key
Available for Channel power, Adjacent channel leakage power, Occupied frequency bandwidth, Electric field
strength, and Magnetic field strength measurement.
10) Calculation function key
Available for Max hold, Min hold, Average and Over write.
11) Display scale key
The display scale of amplitude axis can be selected as 2 dB/div, 5 dB/div or 10 dB/div with this key.
12) Sweep key
The sweep time can be set in the range from 10 ms to 30 s or AUTO. This key can also select the detection

sequence of selection for the function menu, refer to “5.2 Menu tree”.
Utilize the stand on the back to use the screen in an easier-to-see angle on the desk.
6.2 Connection to power supply
The AC adapter MA400 is used to power the instrument and for charg ing the MB400 battery. (Charging starts
automatically if the A C adapter is c onnected and unit is power-off.) Connect the adapter as in the figure below and
connect t he AC plug t o the power line (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz). For static electricity protection, ground the unit
by connecting the three cores if possible. Not grounding the unit can damage the unit and/or device being
measured. Do not use an AC adapter other than the MA400 supplied with the unit. Using an AC adapter other
than the MA400 may cause damage to the unit.
Battery operating time: 4 hours maximum
(with backlight set to minimum)
*Tested at normal temperature with initial setting
parameters.
Connect to 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
The battery indicator is divided into five levels and is displayed on the screen. When the mark of the battery
remainder displays , the buzzer will sound even if buzzer is OFF under settings, and the power will turn off
within a few minutes. Ensure to protect any data or measurements promptly by saving into memory to prevent
data lost if the unit shuts down.

* Please exchange the battery for a new one (MB400) when operating time extremely shortens.
When the unit is powered off and c onnected to AC adaptor MA400, the battery will be charged. The charging
conditions are indicated by two c olors LED , and they correspond to the table below.
Charging condition Color of LED Good usage of battery
Otherwise, battery life will be shortened.
※LED is turned off at power-on.
The “abnormal” condition means that the charging time is more than the time expected, or the battery voltage
is too high.
Note: The battery charges only when the unit is turned off (and the AC adapter connected). It is not possible to
charge the batteries while the unit is turned on. Please charge batteries with ambient temperature
in the range of 0 ºC to 40 ºC.
Caution
Misuse of the battery may cause leaks, abnormal heat, fire or explosion.
For safe use, please observe the following precautions fully.
* Do not short-circuit the terminal of the removed battery.
* Do not cause an impacted shock due to throwing, dropping or striking.
* Do not disassemble or remodel the battery.
* Do not throw the battery into a fire or any sources with heat.
* Do not leave the battery in a place with high temperature.
* Do not wet the terminal of the battery.
* Do not cool the battery, and do not charge it in cold outdoor conditions. It decreases performance
and battery life.
* Do not charge the battery in any other way except according to specifications.
* When you ke ep the bat tery, please keep it in a cool, dark environment where humidity is low.
Moreover, please keep it out of reach from children.
If the battery remains not used for a long time, it might decrease its charges.
6.4 Installation of Battery
To install the battery, please turn off the power and unplug the AC adaptor if in use. Remove the battery cover on
the back of the unit by first pressing down with light pressure, then slide towards the direction of the arrow as

16.6 SPURIOUS FREE Mode (2658A only)
1. By pushing , the SPRIOUS FREE mode, by which the spurious response at band 1- and band
1+ is simply deleted, is selected.
* “SPR” is displayed in CALC area on the screen.
(Refer to “4. Explanation of Screen” for the details.)
* Differing from base band at which the up-c onversion of input frequency is done with a frequency mixer, the
spurious resp onse pec uliar to ban d 1- and band 1+ is generated because the down-conversion is done a t those
two bands.
* About SPURIOUS FREE mode
1. SPURIOUS FREE mode is a mode by which the spurious response peculiarly caused at band
1+ is simply deleted.
2. SPURIOUS FREE mode is especially effective in the measurement of a stationary wave.
3. If SPURIOUS FREE mode is used in measurement of a signal with level change or frequency
change, the phenomenon that the level goes down will occur.
4. The noise level goes down a little in case of a noise changing at random. In short, the same
phenomenon as MIN HOLD function happens.
* How to judge SPURIOUS response at band 1- and band 1+
The procedure for judging SPURIOUS response at band 1- and band 1+ is as follows.
1. Set the center frequency to < (current setting value) + f >.
2. The spectrum shifting left by f is a correct spectrum, but another spectrum shifting such as left
by 2f, left by 3f, right by f, right by 2f or right by 3f is a spurious response.
* “f ” should be changed according to SPAN for easy judgment. For reference;
f = SPAN / (10 to 50) (corresponding to 0.2 to 1 div)
Example: judging a spectrum displayed at 6.92 GHz
(setting : center frequency 6.92 GHz and SPAN 500 MHz)
1. Set the center frequency to < 6.92 GHz + 500 MHz/25 > = 6.94GHz.
2. A spectrum at 6.92 GHz (shifting left by f from 6.94 G Hz) is correct. A spectrum at 6.98 GHz (shifting
right by 2f from 6.94 GHz) is spurious.
* Additio nally, a sp urious re sponse men tioned abo ve shift ing right by 2f at band 1+ is larges t, and othe r
spurious response are about 25 to 50 dB smaller than that.

Other than the optional antenna is also available by creating the original compensation data.
(Refer to “25.8 Writing of Original Compensation Data” for the details.)
* When M405 is used, the measurement errors will occur due to how to hold of instrument and influence of
human body, because M405 is ¼ λ whip ante nna. The er ror value will be seve ral dB or mo re. In orde r to
reduce the error, separa te 2650A series from human body as much as possible.

20.2 EMI Test
The QP detection is usually used in both of the radiated and conducted emission measurements, and the AV
detection is usually used in the conducted emission measurement. The measurement time can be shortened by
using them in the final measurement to the spectrums narrowed by the PK detection.
Conducted Emission Measurement
The conducted emission discharged through the power supply line is measured.
In this measurement, LISN* (Line Impedance Stabilization Network) device is needed.
The connection is shown in the figure below. Please refer to the manual of LISN for details of the
connection and notes.
