Anritsu Field Master MS2080A multifunctional real-time spectrum analyser

Click2Contact

Anritsu introduces the Field Master MS2080A, a multifunctional spectrum analyser that integrates nine instruments into a single package for time and cost efficiencies in the most demanding field environments. Covering 9 kHz to 6 GHz, the product has high performance and features for a compact and portable spectrum analyser, bringing distinct benefits to interference hunting and 5G/LTE base station installation and maintenance (I&M) applications.

The MS2080A combines fast sweep speed of 45 GHz/s, advanced user features such as interference source location by triangulation, and good RF performance, including ±1 dB amplitude accuracy. Additionally, it supports a cable and antenna analyser, power meter and 5G/LTE analysis to make it a useful general-purpose instrument that addresses measurement requirements for legacy and emerging wireless networks.

An optional real time spectrum analyser (RTSA) is available to provide real-time spectrum analysis with 2.5 µs probability of intercept (POI). The RTSA has up to 40 MHz analysis bandwidth and DANL of <-150 dBm, making it suitable for capturing intermittent and digitally modulated signals that can be hard to identify. Spectrograms allow irregular and drifting signals to be captured, recorded and displayed.

The MS2080A supports a full range of measurements for 5G frequency range 1 (FR1) radios to 6 GHz, to support I&M of 5G New Radio (NR) and LTE base stations. Gated sweep analysis for transmitter quality measurements to verify FR1 carriers is provided. The device offers full-channel, power-based and 5G/LTE modulation quality measurement-based coverage mapping for over-the-air (OTA) testing.

The MS2080A is a highly durable analyser that performs in the most challenging environments. It is said to be the only instrument in its class to provide 5 W of continuous RF input overload protection, preventing costly damage to the instrument’s front end when used close to high power transmitters or in a high signal level environment.

A large 10″, 1280 x 800 resolution display meets the demanding IK08 specification for direct knocks and drops. A soft case provides IP52 environmental protection to safeguard the instrument during transport or rain. Weighing less than 4 kg, the product is small, compact and easy to carry.
