Data Sheet Truly portable solution for quick and precise spectrum analysis B&K Precision's 2650A series handheld spectrum analyzers are compact, light weight, and cost-effective spectrum analyzers for quick and precise signal investigations, especially away from the bench. At a weight of only 1.8 kg (4 pounds), the 2650A series are by far the lightest full-featured spectrum analyzer available, yet they deliver performance and features comparable to full-size bench spectrum analyzers and can operate up to 4 hours on a single battery. With their ease of use, measurement flexibility, and unmatched portability, the 2650A series analyzers are indispensible tools for engineers and technicians who conduct field measurements in the 50 kHz to 8.5 GHz range. Applications ■ Installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of wireless communication systems such as W-CDMA/CDMA, GSM, WLAN, WiMAX and Bluetooth ■ Frequency response measurements of passive components such as RF cables, filters, and attenuators (model 2652A) ■ Detection of signal interference and undesired emissions ■ TV and broadcasting ■ Antenna alignment ■ Electric field strength measurement with dipole antennas optimized for typical frequencies used in wireless systems (order M401-M406) ■ Magnetic field strength measurement with magnetic field probe (PR 26m) Superb performance improves your productivity Advanced synthesizer-based design enables the 2650A series to provide you with an accurate and detailed picture of the spectrum you are investigating. ■ Fast sweep speed, minimum 10 ms, to help locate and identify elusive, transient interference signals ■ DANL (displayed average noise level) of -127 dBm ■ Single sideband phase noise - 90 dBc @ 100 kHz offset c(^l)us LISTED Key features and benefits ■ Frequency range from 50 kHz - 3.3 GHz or 8.5 GHz ■ A truly portable spectrum analyzer weighing only 1.8 kg including the battery ■ Impressive 4 hour battery life; easy-to-replace rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery ■ Built-in tracking generator to rapidly determine transmission characteristics of 2 port devices (model 2652A) ■ USB interface for PC connectivity ■ Intuitive PC Software for remote control and documentation of measurement results ■ Conveniently store measurement results and screen shots in bitmap format to USB flash drive (USB host interface) ■ Large easy-to-read color display (TFT LCD), 640 x 480 resolution ■ Measurement functions: channel/adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, electric and magnetic field strength ■ Convenient Auto Tune function automatically sets center frequency to the maximum signal within full span and optimum settings for RBW, VWB and sweep time ■ External trigger for zero span measurements ■ SCPI-like remote control commands Technical data subject to change © B&K Precision Corp. 2012

Channel power measurement Allows you to measure the total power or noise power in a user-specified bandwidth. Adjacent channel power Measure the ratio of power leakage (from the wanted signal) into adjacent channels. Center frequency, adjacent channel bandwidth, and offset between main carrier and adjacent channels can be set. Users can select from any of the following three measurement methods based on the reference carrier definition: total power (of displayed spectrum), peak power (reference level) and in-band power (user-specified band width). Occupied Bandwidth This measurement...

Handheld Spectrum Analyzers, 3.3 GHz & 8.5 GHz Models 2650A, 2652A & 2658A L Calculation and Marker functions Max and Min Hold Max Hold: At each displayed frequency, the currently-measured value is compared to the previously-measured value and the larger one is retained and displayed. This feature is useful for observing a bursted or intermittent signal or for measuring the electric field strength of systems using direct sequence spread spectrum/frequency hopping modulation techniques. Min hold: At each displayed frequency, the currently-measured value is compared to the previously-measured...

Handheld Spectrum Analyzers, 3.3 GHz & 8.5 GHz Models 2650A, 2652A & 2658A Built-in transmission measurement The 2652A is a 2650A with a tracking generator added. The 2652A can be used to rapidly determine transmission characteristics of two-port RF devices. Input (spectrum analyzer) Tracking generators are ideal for tuning filters, determining the usable frequency range of amplifiers and attenuators and aligning receiver IF stages. The tracking generator's output frequency is the same as the frequency the spectrum analyzer is tuned to. This lets you see the amplitude Output (tracking...
