Video review of Anritsu MS2090A when analyzing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals
This video overview shows the Anritsu MS2090A real-time spectrum analyzer in action to analyze the structure of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals at frequencies from 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz. A working microwave oven is used as a typical interference signal. The operation of the adaptive frequency hopping algorithm of the Bluetooth protocol is very clearly visible in the presence of an interfering Wi-Fi signal and powerful broadband interference.
Three analyzers in one instrument
Anritsu MS2090A Field Master Pro series portable spectrum analyzers have three main modes of operation: classic scanning spectrum analyzer, real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA analyzer) and 5G wireless signal analyzer (5GNR analyzer). The choice of operating mode is carried out in the main menu of the analyzer. Each mode supports its own measurement types and corresponding menu structure. The main features of these modes are shown below on this page.
Classic spectrum analyzer mode
On the large screen of the Anritsu MS2090A Field Master Pro analyzers, you can simultaneously view up to six spectral lines (traces), each of which can use its own detector type and its own accumulation or averaging mode.
The screenshot below shows a single RF signal at 50 MHz analysis bandwidth, but measured in three different ways. The first trace (yellow) uses the peak detector and the maximum accumulation mode. The second trace (green) uses the averaging detector and ten-measurement averaging mode. The third trace (blue) uses the peak detector and minimum accumulation mode. Thus, it is easy to see the limits of the signal amplitude change.
To measure the spectral characteristics of radio signals, you can activate up to 12 markers and a table of values containing detailed information about each marker. There are four types of markers: regular, delta, noise, and counter. The user also has at his disposal tools for automating work with markers: searching for a maximum, minimum, placing markers on harmonics, etc.
This screenshot shows a section of the spectrum in the range from 0 Hz to 1 GHz. There are five markers on the peaks of the found radio signals: four regular markers and one delta marker. The exact frequencies and powers of each marker are given in the table at the bottom of the instrument screen.
All spectrum and signal analyzers of the Anritsu MS2090A Field Master Pro series support the display of a continuous sequence of spectra in the form of a spectrogram as standard. This mode, also referred to as the frequency-time diagram, is very useful when looking for intermittent sources of signals or interference, as well as tracking the drift of the amplitude and frequency of radio sources.
This screenshot of the Anritsu MS2090A analyzer shows a 122 MHz span of the spectrum. At the bottom of the screen is a spectrogram containing 130 consecutive measurements of the spectrum of this area. The total duration of the measurement of 130 spectra in this case is 4.54 seconds.
Two markers are set on the spectrogram: C1 (on the 41st spectrum) and C2 (on the 88th spectrum). The two spectra corresponding to these markers are shown at the top of the screen (yellow for C1 and green for C2).
Real time spectrum analyzer mode (RTSA analyzer)
If one or more options, MS2090A-0199, MS2090A-0103, or MS2090A-0104, are installed on the Anritsu MS2090A analyzer, the instrument will enable real-time spectrum analysis. Option MS2090A-0199 enables analysis in the 22 MHz band, option MS2090A-0103 together with option MS2090A-0199 in the 55 MHz band, and option MS2090A-0104 together with option MS2090A-0199 in the 110 MHz band.
In this mode, the Anritsu MS2090A spectrum analyzer is ideal for detecting and analyzing the structure of short signals (even with a duration of up to 2 µs), as well as searching for sources of non-stationary interference and masked signals (TIP tasks – technical information protection).
As an example, the figure below shows a screenshot of the screen of the MS2090A instrument, which analyzes the spectrum in the frequency range from 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz. The screenshot clearly shows the structure of the Bluetooth scanning signal transmitted from a smartphone in the search mode for other Bluetooth devices. In the same frequency range, a Wi-Fi signal is transmitted, in the center of which there is stationary interference (a small green peak with a red dot in the center).
5G wireless signal analyzer mode (5GNR analyzer)
When the MS2090A-0888 option is installed in the Anritsu MS2090A analyzer, the ability to demodulate and analyze the signal structure of fifth generation wireless networks (5G) is activated in it. In this mode, the Anritsu MS2090A Spectrum Analyzer can measure all key parameters of the radio signals of a wireless network, which allows you to optimize its structure, as well as quickly identify and fix problems that arise during its operation.
One of the features of 5G networks is the use of multi-sector antennas and dynamic optimization of coverage areas (Beamforming). The Anritsu MS2090A series analyzers can simultaneously measure key parameters of up to 64 radio beams, which is more than enough to solve any practical problem. This screenshot shows the MS2090A screen showing the SS-RSRP, SS-RSRQ, and SS-SINR parameters for eight individual beams in sector number 627.
Synchronization from Anritsu MA25401A frequency standard
Anritsu releases the compact, high-precision 10 MHz atomic clock MA25401A. The main purpose of this device is to synchronize portable spectrum analyzers with an accuracy better than 0.005 ppm. This level of timing accuracy is essential for the correct measurement of key parameters of LTE and 5G networks, accurate frequency measurement, and other precision applications.
The Anritsu MA25401A frequency standard can be used from -10°C to 55°C, has a warm-up time of less than three minutes, and can be magnetically securely attached directly to the chassis of the Anritsu MS2090A series spectrum analyzers. This figure shows an example of such an attachment. At the same time, the Anritsu MA25401A frequency standard is powered from the analyzer itself via the USB interface.
Design features
All RF connectors in the MS2090A series are located on the top of the instrument case. This is very convenient when working on a real object: the connected cables do not interfere with the operator. The 9 GHz, 14 GHz, and 20 GHz models use a standard N-type (female) input connector. The 26.5 GHz, 32 GHz, and 43.5 GHz models use a reinforced high-frequency K-type connector (male). And in the 54 GHz model, a reinforced high-frequency type V connector (male) is used. Also on the top side of the case are two USB ports for connecting flash drives.
On the side of the Anritsu MS2090A analyzer, under a protective cover, there are various communication connectors: a USB 3.0 port, a USB Type C port, a 1G Ethernet port, a PCIe port for streaming data, a slot for installing a microSD card, and a standard audio output for headphones.
