Anritsu MS2760A-0090 – Spectrum Master, Ultraportable Spectrum Analyzer; 9 kHz to 90 GHz

The Anritsu MS2760A-0090 is an ultraportable spectrum analyzer delivering 9 kHz to 90 GHz coverage in a pocket-sized form factor. Weighing 255 g and measuring 155 mm × 84 mm × 27 mm, it integrates Anritsu's patented Nonlinear Transmission Line (NLTL) technology to achieve dynamic range exceeding 100 dB while maintaining competitive cost-per-performance. The instrument operates via USB power and connects to Windows-based PCs, laptops, or tablets for field, manufacturing, or laboratory deployment. Direct connection to devices under test eliminates reliance on lossy cable runs, critical for high-frequency measurements.
