Signal analyzers check 125-MHz wide bands

For evaluation of microwave and radar systems as well as LTE Advanced chipsets and devices, MS269xA signal analyzers can now perform wideband FFT analysis across 125 MHz at frequencies to 26.5 GHz. Two versions of extension hardware are available: the MS269xA-077 which increases analysis bandwidth to 62.5 MHz, and the MS269xA-078, which extends bandwidth to 125 MHz.

The new options also improve overall performance of the MS269xA series. A high performance ADC hdesigned into the hardware improves display average noise level (DANL) to -147dBm/Hz. The high accuracy and capability of the MS269xA series permits the signal analyzers to support analysis of transient phenomena that are hard to capture using sweep-type spectrum analyzers. An optional Microwave Pre-selector Bypass supports wideband FFT analysis measurements in the 62.5/125 MHz bands at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz. (Contact Kim Collins for price and availability.)
