Units offer accuracy of ±0.15 dB up to 3 GHz, local oscillator phase noise of less than -115 dBm/Hz, offset of 1 GHz/10 kHz, and +18 dBm third order intermodulation. Windows® XP OS, internal hard drive, and built-in CD-ROM allow for wide range of interfaces, including LAN, USB, RS-232, IEEE 488, and VGA outputs.
Original Press Release:
30 MHz Digital Demodulation for Aeroflex 3280A Series Spectrum Analyzers Added as Standard Feature with No Price Increase
Stevenage, UK -October 8, 2009-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-to-use. 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, and begins at U.S. $16,000.
