# Anritsu MS2721A Handheld Spectrum Analyzer, 100 kHz to 7.1 GHz (Pre-Owned) # Anritsu MS2721A Handheld Spectrum Analyzer, 100 kHz to 7.1 GHz (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - +43 dBm (20 W) maximum safe input level — survives tough RF environments without damage - Continuous frequency coverage from 100 kHz to 7.1 GHz, plus zero span - ≤–153 dBm DANL typical at 1 GHz with preamplifier on for low-level signal measurement - Type N RF input, Mini-B USB 2.0, 10/100 Ethernet, and BNC external reference/trigger interfaces - One-button smart measurements: field strength, channel power, OBW, ACPR, and C/I - Built-in AM, narrowband/wideband FM, and SSB demodulation with speaker and headset output - 8-inch full SVGA color transmissive LCD; under 6.4 lb with Li-Ion battery - Full-span sweep in ≤900 ms; zero-span sweep time from 50 µs to 4294 s The Anritsu MS2721A Spectrum Master is an ultra-portable, battery-powered handheld spectrum analyzer delivering high performance in a field-ready form factor. It provides continuous frequency coverage from 100 kHz to 7.1 GHz and combines high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and a suite of built-in measurement routines in an instrument weighing about six pounds fully loaded, including its Li-Ion battery. The MS2721A is built for both field and lab work. In the field, it supports interference detection, spectrum monitoring, wireless system planning, RF and microwave signal measurements, cellular signal measurements, and WiFi and WiFi5 installation and testing. Its wide frequency coverage suits installing and maintaining 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g wireless networks, while the built-in AM/FM/SSB demodulator helps identify interfering signals. In the lab, independently adjustable resolution bandwidth and video bandwidth, a user-settable input attenuator, and a switchable preamplifier give the flexibility needed for demanding measurements. ValueTronics stocks and holds its own test-and-measurement inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every pre-owned unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house by qualified technicians before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. Holding inventory directly means faster fulfillment and accountable condition reporting on the instruments we sell. ## Accessories Supplied - 10580-00103 User’s Guide - 61382 Soft Carrying Case - 40-168 AC – DC Adapter - 806-62 Automotive Cigarette Lighter/12 Volt DC Adapter - 2300-498 Master Software Tools CD ROM - 2000-1360 USB A-mini B cable - 2000-1371 Ethernet Cable - 633-44 Rechargeable battery, Li-Ion - 2000-1358 64 MB Compact Flash Memory Module - 64343 Tilt Bail - 1091-172 Adapter, N(m) to B(f), 50Ω - 1091-27 Adapter, N(m) to SMA(f), 50Ω - One Year Warranty - Certificate of Calibration and Conformance ## Product Core & Specifications Specification Value Frequency Maximum Continuous Input ≥10 dB attenuation, +30 dBm Input Damage Level ≥10 dB attenuation, >+43 dBm, ±50 Vdc; <10 dB attenuation, >+23 dBm, ±50 Vdc Input Protection Relay Opens at >30 dBm with ≥10 dB input attenuation and at approximately 10 to 23 dBm with <10 dB attenuation RF Input VSWR 2.0:1 maximum, 1.5:1 typical (≥10 dB attenuation) Reference Level Adjustable over amplitude range ESD Damage Level \>10 kV ≥10 dB attenuation Frequency Range 100 kHz to 7.1 GHz Tuning Resolution 1 Hz Frequency Reference Aging ±1 ppm/year Frequency Reference Accuracy ±1 ppm (25°C ±25°C) + long term drift Frequency Span 10 Hz to 7.1 GHz plus 0 Hz (zero span) Span Accuracy ±1 ppm (25°C ±25°C) + long term drift Sweep Time minimum 100 ms, 50 µs in zero span Sweep Time Accuracy ±2% in zero span Sweep Trigger Free run, Single, Video, External Resolution Bandwidth (–3 dB width) 10 Hz to 3 MHz in 1-3 sequence ±10%, 8 MHz demodulation bandwidth Video Bandwidth (–3 dB) 1 Hz to 3 MHz in 1-3 sequence SSB Phase Noise –100 dBc/Hz max at 10, 20 and 30 kHz offset from carrier; –102 dBc/Hz max at 100 kHz offset from carrier Amplitude Measurement Range DANL to +30 dBm Absolute Amplitude Accuracy (power levels ≥–50 dBm, ≥35 dB input attenuation, preamp off) 100 kHz to ≤10 MHz ±1.5 dB; >10 MHz to 4 GHz ±1.25 dB; >4 GHz to 7.1 GHz ±1.75 dB Second Harmonic Distortion (0 dB input attenuation, –30 dBm input) –50 dBc, 0.05 to 0.75 GHz; –40 dBc, >0.75 to 1.05 GHz; –50 dBc, >1.05 to 1.4 GHz; –70 dBc, >1.4 to 2 GHz; –80 dBc, >2 GHz Third Order Intercept (TOI) (preamplifier off, –20 dBm tones 100 kHz apart, –20 dBm reference level, 0 dB attenuation), typical 50 MHz to 300 MHz >8 dBm; >300 MHz to 2.2 GHz >10 dBm; >2.2 GHz to 2.8 GHz >15 dBm; >2.8 GHz to 4.0 GHz >10 dBm; >4.0 GHz to 7.1 MHz >13 dBm Displayed Average Noise Level (10 Hz RBW, 0 dB attenuation, reference level –50 dBm, preamp on) — Typical / Max 10 MHz to 1 GHz –153 / –151 dBm; >1 GHz to 2.2 GHz –150 / –149 dBm; >2.2 GHz to 2.8 GHz –146 / –143 dBm; >2.8 GHz to 4.0 GHz –150 / –149 dBm; >4.0 GHz to 7.1 GHz –148 / –146 dBm Noise Figure (derived from DANL, 0 dB attenuation, reference level –50 dBm, 23°C, preamp on), typical 10 MHz to 1.0 GHz 11 dB; >1 GHz to 2.2 GHz 14 dB; >2.2 GHz to 2.8 GHz 18 dB; >2.8 GHz to 4.0 GHz 14 dB; >4.0 GHz to 7.1 GHz 16 dB Display Range 2 to 15 dB/div in 1 dB steps.
