The Advantest U3641 is a highly portable, lightweight 3 GHz spectrum analyzer optimized for field installation and maintenance of communication equipment. Featuring a three-way power supply system (AC, external DC, and optional battery pack), it is designed for maximum mobility. It incorporates a synthesized local oscillator for high-precision measurements, a 6-inch TFT color LCD display, a switchable preamplifier, and options for resolution bandwidths down to 100 Hz and an internal tracking generator.
