Portable Spectrum Analyzer PSA 1505

The PSA 1505 is a cost effective, high-performance portable spectrum analyzer. Advanced digital signal processing is utilized to provide bench-top performance in a portable unit.
The PSA 1505 portable spectrum analyzer can be used for demanding applications like measuring spectral purity, and measuring specifications such as transmit power, frequency bandwidth, harmonic/spurious response, satellite L-Band, adjacent channel power, and antenna directivity.
Capable of storing up to 200 waveforms in a non-volatile memory, this data can be displayed as an overlay or, transferred via RS232 to a PC for further data management.
The instrument utilizes function and numeric keypads with a rotary knob and cursor keys for extremely intuitive ease of operation. Its 6-inch TFT color LCD provides a clear, sharp and bright 640x480 pixel active display area viewable in high ambient light conditions. Weighing just 5.5 lbs including the large capacity rechargeable lithium battery, the PSA 1505 is capable of 4 hours of portable operation, making it highly suitable for field usage.
