SECTION 1
CHARACTERISTICS
The Type 491 Spectrum Analyzer is a wide band,
general purpose portable spectrum analyzer with an RF
center frequency range from 10 MHz to 40 GHz. The ana-
lyzer displays signal amplitude as a function of frequency
for a selected portion of the
played along the horizontal
amplitude on the vertical axis
spectrum, Frequency i

of a
(dispersion) and signal
self-contained system.
The following electrical characteristics apply at an ambient
temperature of 25° C (±5°C) after an initial warmup period
of approximately 20 minutes.
