Anritsu Company Introduces Burst Detect Mode For Easier, More Accurate Method Of Locating Narrow Signals

— MS272xC Spectrum Master™ can now Capture up to 20,000 Measurements per Second, Making it Easier for Field Personnel to Locate Burst Signals —

Anritsu Company introduces a burst detection enhancement for its MS272xC Spectrum Master handheld spectrum analyzer and MS203xC VNA Master handheld vector network & spectrum analyzer combo that makes it much easier for field engineers and technicians to find narrow signals that may cause interference and adversely affect the performance of wireless networks. The Burst Detect mode extends the industry-leading performance of these portable analyzers, which feature the industry’s first 32 GHz and 43 GHz models, giving users powerful test tools for their field requirements.
 

As many as 20,000 measurements per second – thousands of times faster than a normal FFT – can be made with the new Burst Detect method. The result is that users can see 200 microsecond pulse trains every time, making it much easier to find burst signals, such as those generated by improperly installed cell phone boosters.

The fast measurement time and subsequent ability to detect burst signals missed by other handheld spectrum analyzers is achieved, in part, by the ability of the MS272xC and MS203xC
to conduct a “Max Hold” function in hardware. For every display update, the Max Hold is reset, making it possible to see changes in the signal. All trace modes, including Max Hold, Min Hold and Average, are available with this new Burst Detect method.

Combining 30 analyzers in a single instrument that offers leading performance, including resolution bandwidths from 1 Hz to 10 MHz, advanced triggering, and a 30 MHz zero-span IF output, the MS272xC family provides wireless professionals with the analysis capability necessary to meet the most demanding measurements. Whether the application is spectrum monitoring, hidden signal detection, RF/microwave signal measurements, microwave backhaul testing or cellular signal measurements, the Spectrum Master MS272xC family has tools to make the job easier and more productive.

The MS203xC VNA Master extends and leverages investment by adding the industry's only 20 GHz 2-port 2-path handheld vector network analyzer offering features and performance levels that meet or exceed comparably priced bench top VNAs.
