Instrument Description
The MS2085A/89A Site Master is a synthesizer‑based handheld RF spectrum analyzer and cable and antenna analyzer that provides quick and accurate measurement results. The instrument is designed for monitoring, measuring, and analyzing signal environments. Measurements can easily be made by using the main instrument functions: frequency, span, amplitude, and bandwidth. A 10.1" capacitive touchscreen enables fast, easy data entry.
Typical measurements include in‑band interference and transmit spectrum analysis, plus cell site and 802.11a/b/g interference testing. Options are available for RF, advanced demodulation, and over‑the‑air (OTA) measurement. A full range of marker capabilities (such as peak, center, and delta functions) are provided for faster, more comprehensive analysis of displayed signals. Upper and lower multi‑segmented limit lines are available to create quick, simple pass/fail measurements.
Time and date stamping of measurement data is automatic. The internal memory provides for the storage and recall of up to 1000 measurement setups and up to 1000 traces. Measurements and setups can be stored internally on the instrument or on a USB memory device for later recall.
Note 
Not all after-market USB drives are compatible with Site Master. The USB drive must contain a single partition using either FAT32, exFAT, NTFS and ext4 file formats.
