Step 3. Choose analysis bandwidth
Outline Option No. Additional information
Analysis Bandwidth N/A Standard Spectrum Analyzer
Analysis Bandwidth 10 MHz MS2830A-006 10 MHz analysis bandwidth supports VSA and digitize functions.
Supports measurement software for communications with bandwidth of ≤10 MHz.
Analysis Bandwidth Extension to
31.25 MHz
MS2830A-005 Extends analysis bandwidth from 10 MHz to 31.25 MHz.
Supports measurement software for wideband communications, such as LTE and WiMAX.
*
: Requires MS2830A-006. Not supported by MS2830A-045
Bandwidth Extension to 31.25 MHz for
Millimeter-wave
MS2830A-009 This option extends the MS2830A-045 (43 GHz Signal Analyzer) maximum analysis bandwidth
to 31.25 MHz.
*
: Requires MS2830A-006.
Dedicated option for MS2830A-045 (43 GHz Signal Analyzer).
Cannot be set the RBW to more than 10 MHz in spectrum analyzer function.
Analysis Bandwidth Extension to
62.5 MHz
MS2830A-077 Extends analysis bandwidth from 10 MHz to 62.5 MHz.
*
: Retrot not supported.
Requires MS2830A-006 and MS2830A-005 (for MS2830A-040/041/043/044).
Requires MS2830A-006 and MS2830A-009 (for MS2830A-045).
An image response is received when setting the bandwidth to more than 31.25 MHz.
This can be used when not inputting a signal frequency outside the MS2830A analysis
bandwidth (62.5 MHz max.).
The MS2690A/91A/92A Signal Analyzer series is recommended for other measurement
purposes.
Analysis Bandwidth Extension to
125 MHz
MS2830A-078 Extends analysis bandwidth from 10 MHz to 125 MHz.
*
: Retrot not supported.
Requires MS2830A-006, MS2830A-005 and MS2830A-077 (for MS2830A-040/041/043/044).
Requires MS2830A-006, MS2830A-009 and MS2830A-077 (for MS2830A-045).
An image response is received when setting the bandwidth to more than 31.25 MHz.
This can be used when not inputting a signal frequency outside the MS2830A analysis
bandwidth (125 MHz max.).
The MS2690A/91A/92A Signal Analyzer series is recommended for other measurement
purposes.
Step 4. Add preamplier (option)
Outline Option No. Additional information
Preamplier: 100 kHz to 6 GHz MS2830A-008 Improves level sensitivity from 100 kHz to 6 GHz. Supports all frequency options.
3.6 GHz upper frequency limit with MS2830A-040.
*
: Cannot be installed simultaneously with MS2830A-068.
Microwave Preamplier MS2830A-068 Improves level sensitivity. This option is used to measure low-level signals, such as noise and
interference signals.
Frequency Range: 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz (with MS2830A-044)
100 kHz to 43 GHz (with MS2830A-045)
*
: Dedicated option for MS2830A-044/045. Cannot be installed simultaneously with MS2830A-008.
