1-2 Product Description
The Signature Signal Analyzer is a single instrument that integrates state-of-the-art spectrum, vector signal
and digital modulation analysis into one easy to use instrument. It incorporates the following capabilities:
• Highly accurate spectrum measurements covering the range of 100 Hz to 8 GHz in a single band
• Vector measurements of modulated signals up to 30 MHz bandwidth
• Modulation and signal quality measurements of cellular and WLAN signals at the press of a button
• Multiple sweep and detector modes available in a single multi-trace setup
• Easy to use, customizable Microsoft Windows based User Interface
• Custom waveform and signal analysis using on board direct data linking to MATLAB® and Simulink®
tools
• Control of external signal sources and other instruments via SCPI, IEEE488.2, and Web Services
• Remote Control via a Local Area Network or the Internet
• Ability to run user applications and device drivers on its embedded PC
The advanced design of the Anritsu Signature Signal Analyzer features the following innovations:
• RF/analog architecture optimized for maximum dynamic range, high accuracy, and operation to 8 GHz
in a single band
