The Anritsu Spectrum Master MS2723C is a high performance handheld spectrum analyzer covering 9 kHz to 13 GHz. It is built to deliver the performance needed for demanding measurements in harsh RF and physical environments, packaged in a portable instrument measuring 315 mm x 211 mm x 77 mm (12.4 in x 8.3 in x 3.0 in) and weighing 3.5 kg (7.8 lb).

The MS2723C is positioned for spectrum monitoring, broadcast proofing, interference analysis, RF and microwave measurements, regulatory compliance, and Wi-Fi and wireless network measurements. As a field instrument, it is intended for the wireless professional making fast and reliable measurements where bench equipment is impractical.
