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.

Important: Maximum continuous input: +30 dBm peak, ±50 VDC (≥10 dB attenuation); +23 dBm peak, ±50 VDC (<10 dB attenuation); +13 dBm peak, ±50 VDC (preamp on).
Important: The High Accuracy Power Meter (Option 19) requires an external USB Power Sensor, which is not included with the base unit and must be ordered separately (e.g., PSN50, MA24105A, MA24106A, MA24108A, MA24118A, or MA24126A).
Important: The GPS Receiver (Option 31) requires an Anritsu GPS antenna (P/N 2000-1528-R or 2000-1652-R), which requires 5 VDC.
Important: Recommended calibration cycle is 12 months.
