Introduction
This chapter gives a brief overview of the Anritsu MS2720T Spectrum Master and is intended to assist you in your first use of the instrument. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a starting point for making basic measurement setups. This chapter describes general instrument setup, including: instrument mode, frequency, bandwidth, amplitude, span, limit lines, and markers. After measurements are taken, refer to Managing Files for a description of saving, recalling, and deleting measurement files. For more detailed information about specific measurements, refer to the measurement descriptions in the measurement guides for the specific instrument mode and analyzer technology (such as Spectrum Analyzer, WiMAX, or 3GPP). Refer to Related Documents, for a list of these measurement guides and their Anritsu part numbers.
The Spectrum Analyzer Measurement Guide includes sections that describe resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, sweep, and attenuator functions. For example, in the Spectrum Master, Resolution Bandwidth is determined by the intermediate frequency (IF) filter bandwidth. The spectrum analyzer traces the shape of the IF filter as it tunes past a signal. If more than one IF filter is used in a spectrum analyzer, then the narrowest one dominates and is considered the resolution bandwidth.
