PSA Series 5 RF Spectrum Analyzers Bench-top performance handheld convenience The PSA Series 5 is the latest and highest performance true handheld RF spectrum analyzer from Aim-TTi. It complements the existing PSA Series 2 by offering a significantly expanded feature set similar to that found on analyzers costing several times as much, combined with a frequency capability up to 6 GHz.
The size a hand-held instrument should be ! Actual size* * when printed without scaling Ruggedised casing See more detail The casing of the PSA Series 5 includes rubberised buffers top and bottom to help resist knocks and scratches. The large TFT display of the PSA Series 5 shows a wealth of information. It makes use of colour to clearly distinguish the traces (live, view and reference) from the markers, limit lines and graticule.
True portability A genuinely hand-held instrument Some manufacturers have stretched the term handheld to cover any battery powered instrument with a ‘flat’ format. Typical ‘hand-held’ spectrum analyzer 26 cm x 17 cm, weight >2kg Some of these are more than twice the width of an average hand, and weigh as much as a brick. Not so the PSA Series 5.
Packed with features Intuitive menu system Ease of use was a major consideration in the design of the PSA Series 5. Live, View and Reference traces A view trace and reference trace can be displayed in addition to the live trace using contrasting colours for clarity. The menu system provides rapid access to five menu groups, each of which has up to five sub menus, each with their own function keys. Any number of traces can be saved to memory and rapidly recalled to the screen.
PSA-Manager Software 1dB step attenuator Reference level can be set in 1dB steps between -40dBm and +20dBm (67dBµV to 127dBµV). PSA Manager is a Windows* based program that provides additional capabilities for the PSA Series 5. It is available free of charge. Trace write modes In addition to the normal mode, the trace can be set to display Peak-hold, or a Multisweep Average.
Further features with option U02 Option U02 is a firmware upgrade that increases the capabilities of the PSA3605 or PSA6005 to include the following features (marked with *). Automatic Measurements* High resolution Scan Mode* The normal sweep mode of the analyzer collects and displays 271 points of data across the span. In Auto RBW mode the resolution bandwidth will be set to be appropriate for this number of points, and can not be significantly improved upon by setting a narrow RBW.
Features with option U02 (continued) Offsets and Compensation Tables* The reference level, graticule and marker readouts can be set to compensate for external attenuation or gain to a resolution of 0.1dB. Compensation can also be added for signals emanating from a 75W source. Tables can be loaded that compensate for variations of level with frequency for specific antennae or transducers. The tables can contain up to 100 points and are linearly interpolated between points.
