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.
The key features are listed below:
● Wide frequency band (3.6 GHz/6 GHz/13.5 GHz/26.5 GHz/43 GHz)
● Wide analysis bandwidth (Option 006/106: 10 MHz, Option
005/105/007: 31.25 MHz, Option 077/177: 62.5 MHz, Option 078/178:
125 MHz,)
● High dynamic range
● High-speed measurement
● High-speed, high-accuracy signal analysis using digital IF
● Enables time-continuous analysis of loaded data
● Large-capacity waveform memory and digitization function that
records RF signals without missing (when option 006/106, 005/105,
007, 077/177, or 078/178 is used)
● BER Measurement function (when option 026/126 is used)
● Rich measurement functions
The MS2830A is equipped with the hardware product made by National
Instruments and comes with the license for NI-VISA. NI-VISA can be
used for the purpose of controlling the MS2830A.

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). The generated level is about –10 dBc.

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.

The MS2830A is not provided with over-power protection. Be careful not
to apply the power to the RF Input connector as described below:
For Option 040/041/043, without Option 008/108 installed, or with
Preamplifier turned off:
+30 dBm Max (Input attenuator ≥10 dB), ±10 Vdc Max
For Option 040/041/043, with Option 008/108 installed, and with
Preamplifier turned on:
+10 dBm Max (Input attenuator = 0 dB), ±10 Vdc Max
For Option 044/045, without Option 068/168 installed, or with
Preamplifier turned off:
+30 dBm Max (Input attenuator ≥ 10 dB), ±0 Vdc Max
For Option 044/045, with Option 068/168 installed, and with
Preamplifier turned on:
+10 dBm Max (Input attenuator = 0 dB), ±0 Vdc Max
There is no reverse power protection for the SG output connector when
the Vector Signal Generator Option is installed. Be careful not to apply
reverse power to the SG Output connector as described below:
When Option 022/122 is NOT installed:
+12 dBm Max (<20 MHz), +24 dBm Max (≥20 MHz)

2.2.3 Electrostatic
CAUTION
● Always use the supplied 3-pin power cord to ground
both the MS2830A and DUT (included in test circuit).
After confirming that both the MS2830A and DUT are
grounded, use coaxial cables to connect them.
NEVER connect the MS2830A and DUT without
grounding, otherwise electrostatic discharge may
damage the MS2830A.
● Do not touch the core conductor of the connector or
bring it into contact with metal. Doing so may damage
the input circuit of the MS2830A.
