Aeroflex IFR 2309

Aeroflex | IFR 2309 Signal Analyzer

Applications for the IFR 2309 Signal Analyzers include Site Monitoring: Verify that the frequency and signal strength of your transmitter is accurate. Interference: Before a system is installed you use a Aeroflex, Inc. 2309 spectrum analyzer to verify that the frequencies (you plan to use) are not occupied or if the presence of a very strong signal will interfere with your new setup. Interference can be created by a number of different situations. Other tests that utilize the Aeroflex, Inc. 2309 spectrum analyzer features include antenna isolation, co-channel interference, adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, intermodulation, microwave or satellite antenna alignment, and characterization of components.

The 2309 has many advantages over conventional swept tuned spectrum analyzers particularly in terms of speed, accuracy, dynamic range and detector linearity that together add up to a revolutionary improvement in measurement capability for applications including amplifier intermodulation testing, attenuator calibration and VCO noise measurements. The instrument uses a direct frequency conversion system followed by a highly linear patented 1 bit bandpass sigma delta converter operating at an IF of 10.71 MHz. In this way it is possible to make faster, more repeatable and noise power measurements.

Features:

• Automated Intermodulation measurement on amplifiers and frequency converters
• Accurate spurious measurement on transmitters
• RF attenuator calibration and switch repeatability testing
• Accurate true RMS power measurement to 40 W
• Conversion of RF signals to digital IF data for external processing on a PC
• Excellent linearity and high intermodulation free dynamic range
• Fine level resolution of 0.0001 dB
• Frequency resolution to 0.04 Hz
• Low phase noise -121 dBc/Hz
• Input sensitivity to -167 dBm
• <-130 dBc IF spurious (1) free dynamic range

• AC Supply lead
• Operating Manual
