This unit
The Aeroflex IFR 3252 is a portable spectrum analyzer covering 1 kHz to 8 GHz, purpose-built for RF testing across wireless, broadcast, and general communication standards. It delivers phase noise of -115 dBc/Hz and a displayed average noise level of -145 dBm/Hz, enabling precise signal characterization across its full frequency span. The analyzer includes 30 MHz I/Q demodulation bandwidth as standard, with optional measurement personalities for GSM/EDGE, UMTS, CDMA2000/1xEVDO, WLAN, WiMAX, and WiBRO.
A 7-inch wide touch panel display running Windows XP provides direct control, while remote operation is available via LAN, GPIB, RS-232C, and an internal web server supporting browser and tablet access.
