IFR Announces New Low-Cost 26.5 GHz Spectrum Analyzer; 2395 Spectrum Analyzer Designed for Installation and Maintenance of Microwave Links.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers WICHITA Wichita, indigenous people of North America Wichita (wĭch`ĭtô), Native North Americans whose language belongs to the Caddoan branch of the Hokan-Siouan linguistic stock (see Native American languages). , Kan Kan, river, China: see Gan. .--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 2003 IFR IFR abbr. instrument flight rules , an Aeroflex company (Nasdaq:ARXX), today announced a new 26.5 GHz spectrum analyzer A hardware device or software used to examine the frequency and power components of a signal. It provides more information than an oscilloscope, because it can display the signals over a range of frequencies. that increases the bandwidth of the 2394/2399A spectrum analyzer series, while maintaining the family's low-cost profile. It is the latest in the series to provide exceptional performance at an exceptional price. The 2395 26.5 GHz spectrum analyzer is designed to be user-friendly user-friendly - Programmer-hostile. Generally used by hackers in a critical tone, to describe systems that hold the user's hand so obsessively that they make it painful for the more experienced and knowledgeable to get any work done. for all operators, regardless of skill level; its user interface simplifies many complex microwave measurements. The 2395 is ideal for applications such as installing and maintaining microwave point-to-point radio links and tower-mounted transmitters, as well as use in base station workshops. "The 2395 spectrum analyzer is the next step up in our low-cost family of spectrum analyzers," said Bryan Harber, spectrum analyzer product manager, IFR. "It is smaller in size and lighter in weight than all of the competitive products in this bandwidth range. We've designed the 2395 to meet the needs of a broad variety of maintenance and repair personnel who will appreciate the portability and the affordable price." About the 2395 Spectrum Analyzer At just 26 lbs., the 2395 26.5 GHz spectrum analyzer is lightweight and portable. It comes standard with a large 6.4-inch color LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) A display technology that uses rod-shaped molecules (liquid crystals) that flow like liquid and bend light. Unenergized, the crystals direct light through two polarizing filters, allowing a natural background color to show. display. The instrument's fast processor and large memory will allow storage of up to 1,000 screen traces and 2,000 operational states. The 2395's 50-ohm input can accept signals between +30 dBm and -110 dBm while providing protection up to 50 V DC. Like the 2394 13 GHz spectrum analyzer, the 2395 also includes a comprehensive marker marker /mark·er/ (mahrk´er) something that identifies or that is used to identify. tumor marker system that allows as many as nine markers to be displayed at any one time, together with a marker table showing the frequency and level of each marker selected. This feature allows multiple signals to be evaluated simultaneously. In addition to Normal Markers, the 2395 provides Delta Markers, Peak Search, Peak Track, 1/Delta, Marker Track, Marker to Center, and Marker to Reference capability. The 2395's user interface is designed to simplify many of the measurements required for the evaluation of today's sophisticated communications systems In telecommunication, a communications system is a collection of individual communications networks, transmission systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and data terminal equipment (DTE) usually capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole. . It allows semi-automated measurements of Adjacent Channel Power, Channel Power, Occupied Bandwidth, Emission Bandwidth, X dB Down, and Harmonic Distortion In communications, unwanted frequencies that are generated as multiples of the original frequency due to irregularities in the transmission line. In audio amplifiers, harmonic distortion comes from non-uniform operation (non-linearity) in the amplifier circuits. See harmonic. . The 2395 also incorporates an Auto Tune function, allowing an unknown signal to be captured quickly and displayed on the screen. The 2395 will search its complete frequency range for the highest signal level, capture it, display it in the center of the screen with both the span and resolution bandwidths set automatically to the optimal state for best viewing.
