An option to the company's model 2800 RF power analyzer expands the analyzer's capabilities to GSM transmission modulation measurements. The model 2800 features all tests required by GSM manufacturers, including frequency error, which determines the differential or offset from the actual center frequency compared to the basestation-assigned channel frequency, and rms and peak-phase error, which assesses modulation quality. It also features time-mask conformance and measures spurious power levels of the output RF spectrum. The model 2800 RF power analyzer with the option costs $18,990. Delivery is within eight weeks.
