The Anritsu MS2663C is a high-performance spectrum analyzer covering a frequency range from 9 kHz to 8.1 GHz. Designed for the measurement and evaluation of mobile communications radio equipment and spurious frequencies up to three times greater than standard communication bands, it offers excellent C/N ratio, low distortion, high amplitude accuracy, and dedicated evaluation functions such as frequency counter, occupied bandwidth, adjacent channel power, and burst average power.
