Spectrum Analyzers 2395A 9 kHz to 26.5 GHz Spectrum Analyzer A spectrum analyzer with outstanding performance and a user friendly visual interface simplifying many complex measurements • 9 kHz to 26.5 GHz fully synthesized frequency range • Lightweight, portable and rugged construction at 12 kg (26.5 lbs) The 6.4 inch TFT color LCD in the 2395A provides a clear, bright, sharp display with a 640 x 480 pixel active display area viewable in high ambient light conditions. • Excellent TFT color display Comprehensive Marker System • Comprehensive marker facility • Wide input signal range +30 dBm to -110 dBm • Semi-automated measurements • USB 2.0 Interface • Extremely user friendly MMI reduces risk of operator error • Tune facility • GPIB as standard • AM/FM demodulation Color Display A “Value for Money” Product The 2395A is the latest in the range of spectrum analyzers from Aeroflex providing exceptional performance at an exceptional price. Frequency Accuracy The local oscillator system in the 2395A is fully synthesized thus providing accurate frequency measurements with 1 Hz resolution. Marker Table The marker system allows up to a maximum of 9 markers to be displayed on the screen at any one time. A marker table shows the frequency and level of each marker selected thus allowing multiple signals to be evaluated simultaneously. In addition to the Normal markers 2395A provides Delta, Peak Search, Peak Track, 1/Delta, Marker Track, Marker to Center, and Marker to Reference capabilities. Portability With a weight of only 12 kg (26.5 lbs) the 2395A is one of the lightest microwave spectrum analyzers available. A truly portable unit! Measurement Limits The Limits facility allows an Upper and/or a Lower Limit to be set on the screen of the 2395A. Should the signal being displayed fall For the very latest specifications visit www.aeroflex.com outside either limit a message will appear on the screen showing which limit has been exceeded and how many times this has happened. Wide Signal Measurement Range The 50 Ohm input on the 2395A can accept signals between +30 dBm and -110 dBm while providing protection to ±50 VDC. Semi-Automated Measurements The MMI on the 2395A has been designed to simplify many of the measurements required for the evaluation of today’s sophisticated communications systems. These include Adjacent Channel Power, X dB Down, Occupied Bandwidth, Channel Power and Harmonic Distortion. Tune Function Use of this function allows an unknown signal to be quickly captured and displayed on the screen. The 2395A will search its complete frequency range for the highest level signal, capture it, display it in the center of the screen with both the span and resolution bandwidths being automatically set to the optimal state for best viewing. X dB Down Spectral Purity The phase noise on the 2395A is specified at -90 dBc at 10 kHz offset which allows its use for evaluating the spectral purity and noise performance of systems and sub-systems. Signal Demodulation Demodulation of both AM and FM signals allows full testing on a wide range of communications systems. The demodulated signal can be viewed on the screen and is also available on the internal loudspeaker and on headphones via a connector on the front panel. The FM peak deviation and AM modulation depth can be measured using the markers provided in the 2395A. Occupied Bandwidth Information Storage The 2395A is provided with the capability of internally storing up to 1,000 screen traces and 2,000 operational states. The spectrum analyzer is also fitted with a USB 2.0 interface for download to bulk storage. Input Connector The 2395A input connector is a Planar Crown® adapter and both type N and PC 2.92 mm adapters are supplied. The PC 2.92 mm is required for operation to 26.5 GHz and input specifications are measured with this adapter fitted. The type N adapter can be used for operation up to 18 GHz or where low frequency operation in a type N cable system demands the appropriate connector. ® Planar Crown is a trade mark of Weinschel Corporation. Interfaces IEEE 488-2, RS-232 and Printer (PCL5) interfaces are provided as standard on the 2395A allowing its integration into automated test systems and the print-out of screen displays. The 2395A has been designed with future flexibility and expansion in mind. The operating system and system memory has the capability to have additional facilities incorporated.
