Stevenage, UK -- Aeroflex today announced the 3280A Series spectrum
analyzers with 30 MHz digital demodulator and generic vector
demodulation as standard features with no price increase over its
predecessor, the 3280 Series. Digital demodulation in the 3280A Series
spectrum analyzers allows engineers to analyze the transmitter
characteristics of wireless devices. The 3280A Series includes many
optional measurement suites including WiMAX, WLAN, UMTS, CDMA2000, and
GSM/EDGE. |
About the 3280A Series
Designed as general-purpose instruments that provide performance far
beyond the price tag, the 3280A Series spectrum analyzers are accurate,
flexible, and easy-touse. By including a 30 MHz digital demodulator as
standard, the 3280A Series provides even more functionality for the
price—offering frequency coverage from 3 Hz to 26.5 GHz, impressive RF
and microwave specifications, exceptional connectivity, and many
ease-of-use features at an affordable price.
The 3280A Series maintains the extremely high level of accuracy as its
predecessor, ±0.15 dB up to 3 GHz. Other performance features include an
excellent local oscillator (LO) phase noise <-115 dBm/Hz, 1GHz/ 10 kHz
offset and +18 dBm third order intermodulation (TOI) performance.
Digital intermediate frequency (IF) offers resolution bandwidths from 5
MHz to 1 Hz.
The Windows® XP operating system, internal hard drive and built-in
CD-ROM make the 3280A Series easy to operate and allows for a wide range
of interfaces, including LAN access, USB interface, RS-232, IEEE 488
(GPIB) and VGA outputs. Centronics parallel ports are provided for
printer, mouse, and keyboard connectivity. An optional removable hard
drive is available for when the instrument is used in a secure area.
The 3280A Series has a large 10.4 inch LCD display with ample viewing
area, so data can be easily seen–even in split screen mode, or with
multiple windows open. Three traces can be displayed per window and as
many as nine markers can be selected with a marker table viewable in an
alternate window.
Built-in functions can simplify the evaluation of many common
measurements and the 3280A Series offers several of these, including:
channel power, adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, spectrum
emission mask, TOI measurement, harmonic distortion, X dB down, and
phase noise measurement.
Price and availability
Delivery for the 3280A Series is three weeks upon receipt of order,
pending option configuration. Pricing for the series depends upon
selections of bandwidth and options.
