B&K Precision 2658A - Datasheet - Manual

Truly portable solution for quick and
precise spectrum analysis
B&K Precision’s 2650A series handheld
spectrum analyzers are compact, light weight,
and cost-effective spectrum analyzers for quick
and precise signal investigations, especially away
from the bench. At a weight of only 1.8 kg
(4 pounds), the 2650A series are by far the
lightest full-featured spectrum analyzer
available, yet they deliver performance and
features comparable to full-size bench spectrum
analyzers and can operate up to 4 hours on a
single battery.
With their ease of use, measurement flexibility,
and unmatched portability, the 2650A series
analyzers are indispensible tools for engineers
and technicians who conduct field measure-
ments in the 50 kHz to 8.5 GHz range.

Applications
■ Installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting
of wireless communication systems such as
W-CDMA/CDMA, GSM, WLAN, WiMAX and
Bluetooth
■ Frequency response measurements of passive
components such as RF cables, filters, and
attenuators (model 2652A)
■ Detection of signal interference and undesired
emissions
■ TV and broadcasting
■ Antenna alignment
■ Electric field strength measurement with dipole
antennas optimized for typical frequencies used
in wireless systems (order M401-M406)
■ Magnetic field strength measurement with
magnetic field probe (PR 26m)
Key features and benefits
■ Frequency range from 50 kHz – 3.3 GHz or
8.5 GHz
■ A truly portable spectrum analyzer weighing
only 1.8 kg including the battery

■ Intuitive PC Software for remote control and
documentation of measurement results
■ Conveniently store measurement results and
screen shots in bitmap format to USB flash
drive (USB host interface)
■ Large easy-to-read color display (TFT LCD),
640 x 480 resolution
■ Measurement functions: channel/adjacent
channel power, occupied bandwidth, electric
and magnetic field strength

sets center frequency to the maximum signal
within full span and optimum settings for RBW,
VWB and sweep time
■ External trigger for zero span measurements
■ SCPI-like remote control commands
Superb performance improves your
productivity
Advanced synthesizer-based design enables the
2650A series to provide you with an accurate
and detailed picture of the spectrum you are
investigating.
