Anritsu High Performance Waveguide Mixer MA2806A/MA2808A

Spectrum Analysis of Increasingly Wideband mm-Wave Transmitters

• East set-up with one coaxial cable connection to MS2850A/MS2840A/MS2830A signal analyser
• Wide dynamic range using excellent minimum Rx sensitivity and P1dB performance
• High IF and PS function (patent pending) eliminating image response effects at wideband signal measurements
• High phase noise performance of -100dBC/Hz@79 GHz with 10 kHz offset (meas.) at connection with MS2840A
• Easy loading of conversion loss data from accessory USB memory stick into signal analyser for reflection in the measurement values

The MA2806A/MA2808A is a high-performance waveguide mixer for connection to the MS2850A, MS2840A-044/046 and MS2830A-044/045.  With high dynamic range performance, it is ideal for evaluating the true spurious of increasingly wideband mm-Wave transmitters.  Moreover, when used with the high IF of the MS2850A/MS2830A*, it not only supports image-response-free measurements, but can also be used for spectrum mask measurements of wideband signals, such as wireless backhaul and automobile radar, over a wide measurement span. Using the newly developed, patentpending, PS Function, supports measurements without image responses up to a measurement span of 7.5 GHz.
