The Anritsu MS2663C is a portable benchtop spectrum analyzer covering 9 kHz to 8.1 GHz, organized internally into Band 0 (0 to 3.2 GHz) and Band 1 (2.92 to 8.1 GHz) with a preselector spanning 2.92 to 8.1 GHz. The instrument uses a synthesized local oscillator and a Gaussian resolution-bandwidth filter, and is presented by Anritsu as a compact, lightweight platform for the manufacture and maintenance of radio equipment, with the 8.1 GHz upper limit providing headroom to measure spurious products well above the mobile communications bands in widest use at the time of the datasheet.

A spectrum analyzer displays signal energy across a frequency range — showing what signals are present, at what frequency, and at what power level — so engineers can verify transmitter output, hunt interference, characterize filters and amplifiers, and document compliance against published limits. Per the datasheet, the MS2663C is positioned for evaluation of radio equipment, with built-in functions including a frequency counter, C/N, channel power, adjacent channel power, occupied frequency bandwidth, burst average power, and template pass/fail comparison.

## Brand Heritage

Anritsu Corporation is a Japanese precision measurement company with roots reaching back to 1895. In 1993 Anritsu acquired Wiltron Company, an established US RF and microwave instrument maker, consolidating the Wiltron product line into the modern Anritsu RF and microwave portfolio.
