Key Features
Four Bandwidth Choices up to 7.5 GHz
Choose 1.5 GHz, 2.1 GHz, 3.2 GHz or 7.5 GHz depending on whether the requirement is education, RF lab work, wireless troubleshooting, EMI pre-compliance or higher-frequency site-survey work.
Low Noise Floor for Weak Signal Visibility
Displayed average noise level reaches down to −165 dBm/Hz typical on the 7.5 GHz model, helping detect weak spurs, emissions and low-power RF signals.
Tracking Generator Included
The tracking generator supports swept response checks for filters, amplifiers, cables and RF paths, reducing the need for a separate source in basic scalar measurements.
EMI Pre-compliance Workflow
EMI filter and quasi-peak detector options support CISPR-style pre-compliance scanning with limit lines before sending the product for formal compliance testing.
Modulation Analysis Options
Analog and digital modulation analysis options support AM/FM and digital modulation views, including EVM-oriented analysis where the option is enabled.
Reflection Measurement with External Bridge
Reflection, VSWR and return-loss measurements are supported when the relevant option and external reflection bridge are used. This should be positioned as bridge-based reflection measurement, not as a full network-analyzer replacement.

Applications
Pre-compliance Emissions Scan
Use EMI filter, quasi-peak detector and limit lines for early conducted and radiated emission checks before external lab testing.
RF Module Characterisation
Measure occupied bandwidth, channel power, ACPR, spurious output and low-level emissions from wireless modules.
Filter and Amplifier Response
Use the included tracking generator for scalar response checks of RF paths, filters, amplifiers and cables.
Return Loss and VSWR Checks
Perform reflection measurements with the appropriate option and external bridge for antenna matching and cable-return-loss checks.
RF Teaching Labs
Good fit for universities teaching spectrum analysis, modulation, filters, transmission lines and EMI basics.
Automated RF QC
