Keithley 2800 RF Power Analyzer

The Keithley 2800 RF Power Analyzer provides a number of advantages for RF device manufacturers seeking to make RF power measurements.

Rapid throughput to reduce test time and lower test cost. The Model 2800 is the fastest instrument capable of making a set of channel power measurements at a number of power levels and at a number of frequencies (channels). It is 30 percent faster than the fastest spectrum analyzer on the market in a form factor that occupies half the rack space and a price point at half the cost.

Tremendous flexibility for manufacturers seeking to use the same test equipment to produce multiple product types, as the Model 2800 includes the ability to make power measurements for all major standards in the base product - no additional costly options required. Excellent repeatability and accuracy, ensuring high measurement integrity. Better measurements can lead to tighter production limits and higher production line yields.

Minimal complexity to support technician-level operation on the plant floor. Unlike other products created particularly for design engineers rather than the production environment, the Model 2800 can be programmed with half the number of IEEE commands than comparable spectrum analyzers. This simplicity minimizes the cost and time of switchover from existing test routines and equipment configurations.

Industry standards for wireless phone transmission require measuring power in specified channel bandwidths. The Model 2800 is designed for measuring power in the 800MHz and 900 MHz cellular band, as well as the higher DCS (1700MHz) and PCS (1800MHz) bands and the WCDMA (UMTS) / CDMA2000 bands. The Model 2800 is optimized for testing RFIC wireless phone power amplifiers and wireless phones designed to the AMPS, CDMAOne, North American Digital Cellular (NADC), GSM, GPRS, EDGE, DCS, CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 3X, and WCDMA standards.
