    Measuring functions

    Model 2650

    Channel power measurement
    Measures the sum of the power in the zone specified by the zone center and zone width (slash area in figure). In short, it is possible to measure the total power in the specified frequency band. Of course it is possible to measure the noise power.

    Adjacent channel power measurement
    Capable of measuring the adjacent channel power leakage as the ratio of the power in the range specified by offset frequency and bandwidth (slash area in figure) to the carrier wave power. Both the upper and lower side power leakage are measured.
    Furthermore, the method for measurement may be selected out of three methods, i.e., total power method, reference level method and in-band method, from the classification of definition of carrier wave power.

    Magnetic field strength measurement
    Model 2650 is capable of precisely measuring the magnetic field distribution on an LSI or a printed circuit board using magnetic field probe PR 26M
    As the magnetic field detection portion of PR 26M is of a shielded loop structure that adopts glass ceramic multi-layer board technology of excellent high frequency characteristics, it is possible to take measurement at high reproducibility by detecting magnetic field components only. The measuring frequency range is as broad as 10MHz to 3GHz, and the measured value is calibrated in the instrument.
    Evaluation of effectiveness of the bypass capacitor located at the power supply terminal of an LSI and evaluation of wiring rule on a printed circuit board can be raised as typical use of PR 26M. PR 26M is not affected by adjacent patterns because of high space resolution.
    Occupied bandwidth measurement
    It is possible to measure the occupied frequency bandwidth as the bandwidth of the point that is lower by X (dB) than the peak level or as the bandwidth of the point of Y (%) of the total power.

    Electric field strength measurement
    It is possible to measure the electric field strength by connecting a dipole antenna (optional) to the input connector. A dipole antenna that suits the use is available. AN301 is mainly for PDC 800MHz and GSM 900MHz band, AN302 is mainly for PDC 1500MHz band, AN303 is mainly for PHS, W-CDMA and GSM 1800 / 1900MHz band, and AN304 is mainly for 2.4GHz wireless LAN and Bluetooth. AN304 is capable of measuring direct sequence spread spectrum, frequency hopping and Bluetooth system by 10 ms sweep time and MAX HOLD function.
    The conventional method covering low frequency through high frequency with a single antenna results in low antenna gain because of using a range deviating from the antenna resonance point, and the dynamic range largely worsens as a
    result. Model 2650, however, provides an antenna for each frequency band and uses a resonance point of high gain only, and accordingly, it is capable of securing a wide dynamic range. Antennas of other bands will be also prepared if requested.
    As the electric field strength is calibrated for each antenna in Model 2650, it is possible to directly read the measured value.

     
    Marker and peak search

    Model 2650


    Marker measurement
    Two different modes are available for marker measurement. One is normal marker mode to measure and display the frequency (maximum effective number of digits : 7) and level (maximum effective number of digits : 3) of the marker point, and another is delta marker mode to measure and display the frequency difference and level difference between two markers (one of which is a reference marker).


    Normal marker measurement

    Delta marker measurement
    Peak search
    Two different modes are available for peak search. One is normal peak search mode to search for the peak level with all of 10div of the frequency axis as the search range, and another is in-zone peak search mode to search for the peak level in the range specified by the center value and width. NEXT search (search for the next smaller level) of up to 9 is permitted in the normal peak search mode. The marker moves to the peak level at each sweep in the in-zone peak search mode.

    Auto tuning

    The search for the signal of the maximum level in the 3.3GHz band is executed and the result is displayed in the specified frequency span when the AUTO TUNE key is pressed. The spectrum is tuned to the vicinity of the center of the screen, and the reference level, resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth and sweep time are automatically set at optimum values.
    This function is very convenient when used for measurement of an unknown signal.


    Auto range

    Resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth and sweep time are set automatically based on the specified frequency span. Furthermore, it is also possible to automatically set one or two of either resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth and sweep time.
    The operator is released from troublesome operation because these three parameters that accompany the frequency span are set automatically.


    Save/Load

    It is possible to save 100 traces and 100 setups. The load is one trace and one setup. This function may be used when various data are acquired and they are evaluated later, or when it is wanted to make a comparison with formerly acquired data. The saved traces and setups can be transferred to a PC through RS-232C.


    Hard copy of display

    Hard copies of the image on the screen can be produced if a printer (model PT 21650, optional) is connected, using RS-232C (optional), to the RS-232C connector of this instrument.
    Printing begins when the PRINT key is pressed. The printer is of dual power supply scheme, i.e., AC adaptor and battery, and it is possible to easily produce hard copies of measured data even outdoors where no AC power supply is available. The operating time of the battery-powered printer is about 30 minutes (when used continuously), and it is possible to produce about 80 hard copies of images on the screen.


    High resolution display on the PC screen

    Although the spectrum is displayed by 250 points on the horizontal axis on the spectrum analyzer screen, it is fetched by 1000 points per sweep in the instrument. When PC Software (AK 2650, optional) is used, all of these 1000 points are transferred to a PC (the maximum transfer rate is 38,400 bps) and are displayed on the PC screen. The image, therefore, becomes clearer. Furthermore, setup of spectrum analyzer can be made from the PC side.

     

    Calculation functions

     Model 2650


    Max hold
    The update spectrum data is compared with that of last time for each point of the X-axis, and the larger one is retained and displayed. The number of times of sweep can be set in the range from 2 to 1024 times by steps, which is a power of 2, or by infinite. It is possible to observe burst signal and frequency drift.

    Min hold
    The update spectrum data is compared with that of last time for each point of the X-axis, and the smaller one is retained and displayed. The number of times of sweep can be set in the range from 2 to 1024 times by steps, which is a power of 2, or by infinite.
    Average
    Simple averaging processing is executed at each sweep. The number of times of averaging can be set from a range of 2 to 256 times by steps, which is a power of 2. The signal components buried in the noise can be measured.



    Over write
    The image on the screen is not cleared for each sweep, and overwriting display is executed. It is, therefore, possible to observe the process of changes in the signal.
