1.1 Product Overview

The MS2830A Signal Analyzer ("the MS2830A" hereafter) is a spectrum analyzer to which options such as real-time signal analysis and vector modulation analysis can be added. The MS2830A enables high-speed and high-accuracy signal processing of wide-ranging analyses at full-span, a characteristic of conventional sweep-type spectrum analyzers, using a digital IF block. In addition, the FFT process (high-speed Fourier conversion) realizes high-speed spectrum analysis and simultaneous analysis on frequency and time axes not possible with conventional sweep-type spectrum analyzers. Also, added option enables recording of the RF input signal as digital data (digitize function). It can be used in a variety of applications from research and development to manufacturing thanks to its characteristics.

1.3.10 Low Phase Noise Performance Option (MS2830A-062/066)

Summary: The SSB phase noise is improved for RF input signals by provision of an internal dedicated frequency converter. Near-carrier phase noise is reduced by installing the Low Phase Noise option (MS2830A-062/066) and turning On the Low Phase Noise option function. Example of Improvement: The Low Phase Noise Performance option brings the following improvements in the measurement of narrow-band radio device (radio for commercial use) and of transmitter for digital TV broadcasting. ・ Allows near-carrier spurious measurement. ・ The adjacent channel power (ACP) measurement is performed with accuracy because noise power over the adjacent channel is reduced. ・ S/N and EVM are improved due to reduced residual FM. Precautions when Low Phase Noise option enabled (On). The operation principle of the frequency converter is generation of a spurious response at a specific frequency. As a result, sometimes it is better not to use, such as when measuring spurious. When the DUT signal frequency is known, when the MS2830A Rx frequency is set to 35 MHz beyond that frequency, measurement can be made as if the Low Phase Noise Function is Off (disabled) because the spurious response cannot be observed. However, even if the DUT signal frequency is unknown, measurement can be made after setting the Low Phase Noise Function to Off (disabled) and verifying the presence of a response at about the same level (in other words, confirming that the observed signal has the correct response). The spurious responses are as follows: (1) Image Response This response is generated when a signal with frequency fin is input to the MS2830A RF input connector and the MS2830A Rx frequency is set to fin –150 MHz, and more than 330 MHz (with MS2830A-062) or more than 110 MHz (with MS2830A-066). The generated level is about –20 dBc.

Chapter 1 Overview

1-58 (2) Multiple Response This response is generated when a signal with frequency fin is input to the MS2830A RF input connector and the MS2830A Rx frequency is set to (fin ±75 MHz)/N–75 MHz (N = 1,2,3 …),and more than 330 MHz (with MS2830A-062) or more than 110 MHz (with MS2830A-066).

1-60 1.3.13 Microwave Preselector Bypass Option (MS2830A-067/167) Summary: By bypassing the preselector (image response elimination filter), the RF frequency characteristics and the in-band frequency characteristics are improved, and level accuracy improvement can be achieved. Notes on default values when this option is installed: To improve the in-band frequency characteristics, the default value is set to On for the Signal Analyzer function, and is always set to On for all other applications. To avoid measuring the image signals generated internally, the default value is set to Off for the Spectrum Analyzer function.
