PSA 1505 Portable Spectrum Analyzer



Overview

The PSA1505 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 PSA1505 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 nonvolatile memory. This data can be displayed as an overlay or, transferred via RS232 to a PC for further data management.

The PSA 1505 utilizes function and numeric keypads with a rotary knob and cursor keys for extremely intuitive ease of operation. It’s 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 PSA1505 is capable of 4 hours of portable operation making it highly suitable for field usage.
