Exceptional performance, advanced capabilities, and value enable the MS2718B to simplify measurements on microwave components, subsystem, and systems for manufacturing, R&D, and general purpose applications. Then add to your measurement functions with 15 wireless options. Typical applications include:

• Microwave component test in manufacturing and R&D, especially where higher performance levels are needed
• Aerospace & defense test for defense electronics, including ATE
• University labs requiring affordable spectrum analysis tools
• General purpose economy spectrum analysis
• Broadcast measurement AM & FM analog and IBOC proofing measurements
• Optional Wireless Test Options:
• Compliance test in manufacturing and R&D for 7 different wireless system formats for components and sub-system tests, especially Node-B transmitters (Optional pre-written test software)
• Transmitter Spectrum Analysis in the lab or production – occupied bandwidth, channel power, adjacent channel power ratio and modulation
• Received Signal Analysis – location and identification of in-band interference and out-of-band spurious signals and spectral masks
• Measurement of the 5th harmonic of 3G cellular base station signals
• Optional Phase Noise Measurement Software provides displays of Single-Sideband Phase Noise versus Frequency Offset with a logarithmic frequency axis. Marker functions provide integrated noise in seconds, degrees, or Hz
