RICHARDSON, Texas -- Anritsu Company introduces the MS2687B spectrum analyzer that features a best-in-class 20 MHz resolution bandwidth, low noise at the microwave band, high dynamic range and low phase noise. Covering a frequency range up to 30 GHz, the MS2687B can conduct highly accurate burst power measurements on wideband signals such as W-CDMA and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing).

The MS2687B is designed with advanced DSP and 64 MHz A/D sampling to achieve highly accurate measurements at very high speed. With excellent phase noise performance, the MS2687B can conduct highly accurate evaluations of near carrier frequency in wideband devices under test (DUTs). It also features an average noise level of < 136 dBm/Hz at microwave frequencies, allowing the spectrum analyzer to conduct accurate harmonious/spurious measurements in a wide dynamic range of up to 156 dB.

The versatility of the MS2687B allows it to be used during R&D and the manufacture of wideband devices and networks. It can also be used during installation and maintenance of microwave lines and W-CDMA base stations because of its small size and lightweight. The MS2687B measures only 320 W x 177 H x 411 D (mm) and weighs 15 kg.

The MS2687B also features a large 6.5-inch TFT-LCD display that is easy to read. A multiple waveform display feature allows two waveforms to be superimposed and simultaneously displayed for analysis of frequency and time domain. A marker function allows up to 10-point multi-markers to be displayed for comparison of waveforms and measurements of harmonics.

The MS2687B is priced at $36,400 and will be available in 6 to 8 weeks ARO.
