Spectrum Analyzer MG PN: 10580-00447 Rev. H 4-1
Chapter 4 — IA Spectrum Analyzer
(Option 24)
4-1 Introduction
The Interference Analyzer (IA) spectrum analyzer and MA2700A handheld InterferenceHunter
™
are the ideal
solution for anyone conducting coverage testing of RF and microwave communications systems, including 5G
and LTE networks.
The Interference Analyzer (IA) spectrum analyzer application assists you in finding the source of interfering
signals with the use of MA2700A handheld InterferenceHunter, GPS receiver, and directional antenna. Note
that it is required to enable the GPS receiver in the GPS settings of the instrument. Refer to GPS/GNSS
settings of the product’s user guide. With the MA2700A, a vector line to an interfering signal can be added to a
map in the instrument with a click of the trigger on the handle.
A basic understanding of the measurement concepts presented in Chapter 2, “Spectrum Analyzer Overview” is
recommended before performing the procedures in this chapter. Refer to the instrument’s user guide to get a
better understanding of the user interface and for additional information system operations. Refer to the
following sections for a better understanding of the spectrum analyzer application:
• Section 2-2 “Selecting the Analyzer” on page 2-1
• Section 2-3 “Main Menu” on page 2-5
• Section 2-4 “Status Panel” on page 2-6
• Section 3-3 “Setting Frequency Parameters” on page 3-2
