The Anritsu MS2663C is a portable spectrum analyzer covering 9 kHz to 8.1 GHz. It pairs superior basic performance — high C/N ratio, low distortion, and high frequency and level accuracy — with simple operation, and uses a Gaussian filter as its resolution bandwidth filter. A large selection of options lets a single instrument address a wide range of applications at reasonable cost.
The 8.1 GHz upper limit reaches up to three times above the frequency bands used worldwide for mobile communications, allowing measurement of spurious frequencies in that range. Its low noise sidebands make it suitable for measuring adjacent channel power of both analog and digital radio communication equipment, and its compact size suits manufacturing and maintenance of radio equipment in both benchtop and field settings. With the appropriate options it also supports TDMA digital mobile communication testing, CATV maintenance, and EMI measurement.
ValueTronics keeps its own inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, holding the instruments we sell on hand rather than sourcing them on demand. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house by our technicians before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received.
