Lightweight spectrum analysers with full features

25 April 2001 Test & Measurement

Advantest claims it offers the lightest weight microwave spectrum analysers with the features of a heavyweight competitor. With radio communications undergoing fast growth on a global scale, frequency band usage is expanding across the spectrum from the microwave to the millimetre-wave bands.

The U3661 spectrum analyser is the lightest weight microwave spectrum analyser in the world, according to the company. It is suitable for field maintenance of microwave radio facilities and digital mobile communication. The main unit weighs 8,5 kg and has a frequency range up to 26,5 GHz. In addition to its enhanced basic performance, the U3661 is equipped with many standard functions such as power calculation and high-speed sweep.

The U3661 has a three-way power source system, which includes battery, and also a built-in RC232 interface for a PC, facilitating flexible data management using standard memory cards.

The U3641/3641N is equally lightweight, weighing in at 6,9 kg for the main unit. Its compact size and three-way power supply, the 3 GHz U3641/3641N spectrum analyser has been designed specifically for field installation and maintenance applications. In addition, with the inclusion of a synthesized local oscillator, it allows high precision and high-stability measurements with a minimum resolution bandwidth of 100 Hz.

The U3641/3641 can be customised for a variety of applications by selecting from the wide range of available options, eg maintenance on various aspects of CATV and digital mobile communication systems.
