Anritsu Field Master MS2080A Handheld RF Spectrum Analyzer

The Anritsu Field Master MS2080A Handheld RF Spectrum Analyzer with 9 kHz to 4 GHz is designed to offer the performance you need with the toughness required in a field portable instrument. Developed with 20 years of experience in designing RF test instruments for field technicians, the Field Master MS2080A integrates a spectrum analyzer, real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA), cable and antenna analyzer, and LTE/5G base station tester into a single battery-powered instrument.

Full span sweep speeds of 45 GHz/s coupled with -160 dBm DANL and ±1 dB level accuracy delivers performance previously reserved for the lab into the field. Results and instrument settings are clearly displayed on a large 10-inch, high-resolution multi-touch screen. The soft case provides an IP52 rating to protect from dust and rain while the screen exceeds the IK08 specification protecting against the knocks and drops inevitably experienced in the field. The 5 watts maximum input power prevents accidental power overload damage, which is the most common cause of field failures.

With the increase in RF communication systems, interference has become the biggest challenge for many operators. The Field Master MS2080A offers an array of features to identify and locate sources of RF interference. Its super-fast sweep speed used with a directional antenna enables the rapid location of interferers. AM/FM audio demod help identify the source of the interferer while adding Anritsu’s InterferenceHunter MA2700A handle with eCompass pinpoints the location on a digital map.

Validate cellular network performance with LTE and 5G base station measurement options. Cell site coverage is simplified with the coverage mapping option, highlighting coverage from individual PCIs. Add a Site Master S331P cable and antenna analyzer to complete the base station test capability.

The Field Master MS2080A delivers faster measurements in a field portable instrument with a comprehensive array of features for interference hunting and cellular base station testing.
