ADVANTEST R3182 Spectrum Analyzer

ADVANTEST R3182 Spectrum Analyzer

OVERVIEW

The R3172 and R3182 are low-cost portable spectrum analyzers capable of performing direct input measurements at a maximum frequency 26.5 and 40 GHz respectively. Adopting newly designed RF circuitry, both the R3172 and R3182 aim for improved basic performance with their 40 GHz direct input capability. Further, the R3172 and R3182 achieve "best-in-class" performance for average display noise levels of -104 dBm (at 26.5 GHz, RBW 1 kHz) and -106 dBm (at 40 GHz, RBW 1kHz) respectively, and SSB phase noise levels of -91 dBc/Hz (at 26.5 GHz, 20 kHz offset) and -85 dBc/Hz (at 40 GHz, 20 kHz offset) respectively. Operating frequencies for radio communications have increasing tendency to shift to higher frequencies. Accordingly, the R3172 and R3182 have been developed as personal-use spectrum analyzers capable of use in a wide range of applications from development to manufacturing of high frequency modules, devices, etc.

Measurement of 40 GHz Input Through Coaxial Cable

With a newly developed front end RF circuitry, from the RF input connector to the first IF conversion, wideband frequencies from 9 kHz to 26.5 (or 40 GHz) can be directly input. Because a preselector is built-in, which is synchronized with sweep frequency, the analyzer is capable of measuring wideband frequencies without image signals even for high-order mixing bands.

Outstanding Signal Purity 

Phase noise characteristics of high frequency devices and modules are critical measurements, which affect the basic performance of communication units. The R3172 and R3182 enhance SSB phase noise characteristic measurements with full use of our newest technology, and by incorporating a synthesizer and RF circuit. These spectrum analyzers are suitable for evaluating high frequency devices and modules
