Compact Design with High Performance

High throughput

With the U3741/3751, warm-up time has been reduced to a scant

5 minutes (at an ambient temperature of 20 to 30C). This shortened period virtually eliminates pre-warming time as a consideration, and permits quick and accurate measurement.

This spectrum analyzer delivers data transfer speed superior to that

of its predecessor. While the previous model delivered 875 ms, the
U3741/3751 boasts a speed of 350 ms: double the system throughput *2 (using the GPIB interface)*3. This faster speed contributes to
a significant reductions to cost of test on production lines and in
similar applications.

the factory or in the field.

At about half the size of its predecessor, this spectrum analyzer

offers a compact design while maintaining the same level of functionality. Its form factor gives it portability, enabling it to be used
anywhere.

Extensive array of measurement functions

U3741/3751-6E Mar. 13

Measurement functions include Channel Power, Total Power,

Avg Power, OBW, ACP, Spurious measurement, Harmonics measurement, IM measurement, Noise/Hz calculation functions,
multi-marker (10 markers), delta marker, peak marker functions,
a channel setting function, and a 3-trace simultaneous sampling
function.

Measurement Functions
RMS Average, essential for power measurement

Pre-Amp covering the 3 GHz/8 GHz bandwidth

Power tends to be spread over a wide frequency range, and the peak
factor tends to be higher in digital modulation, with its expanded
communication capacity. The U3741/3751 allows precise power
measurements by determining the effective values (RMS values)
from instantaneous power values obtained in high-speed sampling
and translating them into a power spectrum. This method also
enables measurement reproducibility of 0.01 dB in power measurement of digitally modulated signals.

The U3741/3751 contains as standard a pre-amp that covers all

frequency bands. In the analysis of faint signals, its input sensitivity can be equivalent to that of high-end models. Also, it effectively compensates for the loss from the antenna when measuring
radio signals in an outdoor environment.

Built-in frequency counter with 1-Hz resolution

USER keys

Frequency can be accurately measured by simply positioning the

cursor on the target spectrum selected from multiple spectral lines.
The U3741/3751 is indispensable for measuring the carrier wave
frequency in a general multi-carrier system.

An arbitrary key can be selected from the hierarchical function

keys and assigned to a USER function. Users can thus configure
their own, original setup for operations by assigning frequently
used functions to specific software keys.

Spectrum emission mask function

The measuring window and F-F mode can facilitate analysis of a

specific signal in broadband measurement. Also, RBW can be
changed independently, enabling high-speed measurement of the
target signal in both broadband and narrowband. A variety of
other signal analysis functions are also available, including those in
F-T mode or T-T mode.

Using tools such as a spectrum mask and limit line to judge

PASS/FAIL is effective at improving production line throughput
for digital appliances. Using the spectrum emission mask (SEM)
function can facilitate measurement for standards such as wireless
LAN.

Gated Sweep function

Gated Sweep OFF

A radar or TDMA communication system controls its output

transmission by turning the power on/off intermittently. To monitor the power spectrum during transmission, the Gated Sweep
function is effective at analyzing the spectrum only when the signal
is present and over only the area chosen. This function also
includes an IF trigger that does not require synchronized signals.

Phase noise measurement is indispensable to evaluation of the

characteristics of high-frequency oscillation circuits or modules.
The high-purity spectrum analysis option offered with the
U3741/3751 can improve the phase noise measurement performance of the spectrum analyzer. Because the performance can be
selected, selecting the most suitable spectrum analyzer for the
device under test (DUT) is simple. At the same time, the added
resolution bandwidth of 30 Hz enables reduction of the display
average noise level and analysis in a high dynamic range.

High-Stability Frequency Reference Source OPT.20
Frequency of the high frequency signal was conventionally
counted with a frequency counter. However, multi-carrier method
is often employed for the recent communication system which
uses high frequency signals which contains multiple frequency
components, a frequency counter cannot count the frequency correctly. Therefore, the frequency counter of the spectrum analyzer
attracts attention as an essential function.

In a spectrum analyzer, just by pointing the marker at the spectrum separated as a sine wave of CW, not only the frequency
counting but also faint signal level counting is possible. OPT.20
improves the aging stability of the standard oscillator which determines the frequency counter accuracy of a spectrum analyzer.

EMC Filter OPT.28

Option 28 adds 6 dB RBW CISPR bandwidths for EMI measurement of 200 Hz, 9 kHz, 120 kHz, and 1 MHz. A broadband
sweep by the spectrum analyzer is very effective at measuring noise
emitted from electrical devices. Installing OPT.28 allows measurement in CISPR-specified bandwidths. It enables simple, fast measurement using the Positive peak detector and Max Hold, which
makes it effective at compensating for emitted noise. It guarantees
an impulse bandwidth accuracy of 1 MHz. This capability conforms to the standard for noise measurement of 1 GHz or above.
