3280 Series Spectrum Analyzers

Performance far beyond the price tag.

RF and microwave performance that employs the very latest digital signal processing technology for enabling superb level accuracy and a wide choice of resolution bandwidths.

New to the 3280 - Digital Demodulation

The Aeroflex 3280 now offers digital demodulation for the analysis of 802.11a, b and g wireless networks. Digital demodulation in the 3280 allows engineers to analyze the transmitter characteristics of a wireless device.

Digital demodulation in the 3280 Series is easily operated in one of two modes:

• Full-frequency mode links the rear panel IF output at 421.4 MHz to the demodulator input.
• Dual-channel mode links directly from the instrument’s front panel or optionally via a rear panel connector to create a unique dual-channel instrument.

Frequency Model Range

• High level accuracy ±0.15 dB up to 3 GHz Digital IF offers resolution bandwidths from 5 MHz to 1 Hz Low DANL of <-150 dBm/Hz
• +18 dBm third order intermodulation performance
• Excellent LO phase noise <-115 dBc/Hz, 1 GHz/10 kHz offset
• Optional tracking generator - all models

The NEW 3280 series has been designed to achieve the best performance while keeping the cost to an affordable level. Ideally suited to design and production applications, the 3280 series uses a Windows XP™ operating system and a large color TFT LCD, making the 3280 very easy to operate with exceptional connectivity.
