capabilities of large laboratory
test equipment. Just imagine
the possibilities for your group!
With measurements from 100 kHz
to 7.1 GHz, the Anritsu MS2721A
Spectrum Analyzer will allow
you to match any standard
high-performance benchtop
instrument while providing the
flexibility and affordability of a
handheld device.
• Easy-to-use
• Ultra-Portable
• Accurate, repeatable
measurements

Install, Test and Maintenance
Product information and performance claims are provided by manufacturers.
Field technicians not only
have the benefit of compact size
but also ease of use when using
the MS2721A. With the hand-
held spectrum analyzer, measure-
ments such as field strength,
channel power, occupied band-
width, adjacent channel power
ratio (ACPR), and carrier to inter-
ference ratio (C/I) can be made
with the press of a single button.
The accuracy of these measure-
ments is ensured by the perform-
ance of the MS2721A. The
hand-held spectrum analyzer has
phase noise of –100 dBc/Hz at 10
kHz, and a DANL of –153 dBm. It
also has fast sweep speeds and a
resolution bandwidth (RBW) of
10 Hz to 3 MHz. Previously,
this type of performance could
only be found in benchtop spec-
trum analyzers.
Borrowing much from
Anritsu’s popular Spectrum
Master design, the MS2721A has
a rugged case that can withstand
the harsh environments and ter-
rain associated with field use. It
also has a simple multilingual,
customizable user interface in
English, Spanish, French,
German, Chinese, Japanese,
Italian and Korean, similar to all
of Anritsu’s hand-held products.
The MS2721A has many new
features specifically developed
for field use. It has an 8.4-inch
TFT-LCD color display that
makes viewing measurements
easier than ever before. A
lithium-ion battery is used to
give the MS2721A long life, as
well as durability. It also has a
wide operating temperature of
–10 degrees C to +55 degrees C.
A variety of ports, including a
compact flash slot, as well as
Ethernet 10/100 and USB 2.0,
make it convenient to upload or
download field data.
Extremely flexible, the
MS2721A can be used in almost
any field application. Technicians
can use the hand-held spectrum
analyzer to measure both existing
commercial wireless networks
as well as emerging technologies.
It can also be used to measure
private wireless networks,
including those employed by
the public safety profession
as well as the military. Visit

First Hand-Held
Spectrum Analyzer
with Coverage up
to 7 GHz
merging wireless technolo-
gies such as 802.11, 3G, and
ultrawideband (UWB) are adding
congestion to an already crowded
spectrum. To meet the testing
requirements posed by such a
diverse and converging wireless
environment, Anritsu Company
has developed the MS2721A, the
first fully functional hand-held
spectrum analyzer. The next
generation of Anritsu’s popular
Spectrum Master
TM
family, the
MS2721A is a true general-purpose
spectrum analyzer with unparal-
leled performance, as well as broad
frequency coverage of 100 kHz to
7.1 GHz, giving wireless engineers
and field technicians a single
instrument for virtually all their
spectrum analysis needs.
A new innovative platform
that includes advanced DSP
technology was used to develop
the MS2721A. The result is a
compact instrument measuring
only 12 L x 8 H x 3 D (inches)
and weighing 6.4 pounds that
can ensure the integrity of
data/voice transmissions as well
as identify interfering signals.
These analysis capabilities are
especially important due to the
increased number of RF signals
created by the roll out of the new
wireless infrastructures.
