Information
The A-8000 Spectrum Analyzer is a microprocessor-controlled,
superheterodyne unit which features ease of operation, while
providing the features of a full-function spectrum analyzer.
1 -2 STANDARD FEATURES
The A-8000 Spectrum Analyzer covers a range from 10 kHz to
2600 MHz at signal levels up to +30 dBm. Signal levels are
read directly on the CRT graticule display in dBm, dBy W,
dBV, dBmV or dBp V. Signals can be stored and recalled or
used for comparison purposes. Standard A-8000 input
impedance is 50Ω. All operating parameters are set via
keyboard operat i on .
1-2-1 DISPLAY METHOD
The A-8000 Spectrum Analyzer display is fully digitized. A
Vertical Raster Scan (VRSTM-) method is used to form the
display of 390 horizontal discrete points by 480 vertical
points. The “FULL" Scan display range is from -50 MHz to
2600 MHz.
1-2-2 MEASUREMENTS WITH THE A-8000 SPECTRUM ANALYZER
The A-8000 Spectrum Analyzer can be used for a wide variety
of measurements within its frequency/am piitude domain. Some
of the more important uses include: spectral purity» mixer
products, modulation measurements, carrier suppression in
Single Side Band radios, harmonic levels, RF carrier levels,
distortion and, with the Quasi-Peak filter, electromagnetic
interference (EMI) measurements. When equipped with a
Tracking Generator, additional measurements can be
performed, including: insertion loss, frequency response and
return loss (VSWR).
