Click2Contact

Anritsu introduces IQ capture and IQ streaming options for its Field Master Pro MS2090A that are designed to make the real-time spectrum analyser (RTSA) the first handheld analyser to capture 110 MHz of IQ data. When combining the latest features with wide bandwidth, long memory and fast transfer speeds, the MS2090A can conduct comprehensive spectrum analysis in a variety of general-purpose applications, including military intelligence and government regulations.

With 110 MHz bandwidth and a 200 MSps sample rate, the product is said to capture and stream twice as much data as any other handheld analyser. Additionally, having IQ capture and streaming in RTSA mode allows for the capture and/or streaming of data without pausing the sweep, so users can monitor the spectrum visually while the capture is being conducted. The result is more information is acquired on spectrum surrounding bands of interest.

Of particular benefit for intelligence and government applications, the MS2090A RTSA can stream data to Bird Technology’s IQC5000B dual-channel RF record and playback system. The turnkey solution enables 110 MHz of bandwidth to be streamed at 16-bit format and up to 15 TB of data to be stored. Powerful post-processing analysis, including evaluating data in various domains, replaying data as spectrum with full-time resolution and smart algorithms to search for signals, can be performed. Data can also be streamed to a USB 3.0 drive or PC over Ethernet.

For 5G applications, the 110 MHz of capture bandwidth allows mobile operators to gather data on a full 5G NR signal in a single sweep. It can also post process the data to locate any anomalies that will adversely affect network performance.
