U3771/3772

A New Standard for Microwave and

Millimeter-wave Spectrum Analyzers

for

Field

The worlds smallest and lightest microwave

spectrum analyzer handles frequencies of up
to 43 GHz.
As the pace of radio communications development
worldwide continues to increase daily, operating frequency bands have widened from microwave bands
to include millimeter-wave bands. The U3771/3772
sets a new standard for microwave spectrum analyzers.
An analyzer that combines portability, a quality required
for inspecting and servicing different types of communication
systems, with maximum functionality in the field. Making
full use of the newest digital circuit and software technology
in the worlds smallest and lightest (less than 6 kg) form factor,
the U3771/3772 achieves dramatic advances in level measurement
accuracy and stability. Employing leading edge software technologies
to provide image suppression capabilities and an array of data analysis
functions as standard features This field-use spectrum analyzer employs
3-way power operation (battery, DC and AC), warms up quickly
(within 5 minutes) and has an USB interface enabling the use of largecapacity memory for data storage.

Basic Performance with Powerful Features

High-input Sensitivity

Two-channel Input

As measured frequencies become higher, noise level degradation places limits on measurement dynamic range. The latest
RF technologies are incorporated in the U3771/3772 to reduce
the noise floor level.
117 dBm@34 GHz (typ.)

The U3771/3772 supports two input ports that can be easily

switched: RF Input 1 (9 kHz to 8 GHz) and RF Input 2 (10
MHz to 31.8 or 43 GHz). With signals applied to both Input
1 and Input 2, two signals such as an IF signal and a carrier
can quickly be measured.

Broadband Sweep

RMS Detector

The U3771/3772 continuously sweeps across a frequency band

of 10 MHz to 31.8 or 43 GHz allowing high-speed sampling
of data on a single screen, simplifying broadband signal monitoring and harmonics measurement tasks.

The U3771/3772 include an RMS detector in addition to the

traditional sample detector to increase its accuracy in broadband modulated signal power measurements. The RMS detector, the digital IF, and the software calibration function work
together to provide higher-stability power measurement.

Functions That Are Simple and Easy to Use

Image Suppression Function Useful for removing Images

Zoom Function

Software pre-selector technology has been incorporated into

the U3771/3772 to make a compact, lightweight, and inexpensive spectrum analyzer. The Image Suppression (IS) function allows you to identify and delete images easily. The
U3771/3772 comes with the IS function enabled by default
for operation as easy as that of a conventional model.

An example of a pulsed RF signal measured with the

Frequency-Time (F-T) mode analysis feature of the zoom
function is shown below. The U3771/3772 displays the pulse
envelope (frequency domain) of double pulses (5-s delay)
having a pulse width of 1 s and a pulse waveform (time
domain) on separate screens. Additional features provided by
the U3771/3772 support a wide variety of analysis tasks
including Frequency-Zoom mode, in which different frequency spectra are displayed, and T-T display mode, which is
useful for displaying expanded views of the time domain.

Note: The IS function is intended to determine whether the signal under test is a true or image
signal. Set the IS function to OFF for detailed signal or modulated signal analysis, or
for high-speed measurement.

Functions That Are Simple and Easy to Use

Millimeter-wave Frequency Measurement

OBW Measurement Function

Place the marker on the signal of interest, and the

U3771/3772 works as a frequency counter covering a range of
500 kHz to 31.8 or 43 GHz, with a selectable resolution ranging from 1 Hz to 1 kHz.

The U3771/3772 computes the bandwidth of a specified

power ratio from measured spectrum data and displays the
occupied bandwidth (OBW) and the center frequency (Fc).
The OBW of 10 to 99.8% of total power can be chosen.

Frequency counter measurement

OBW measurement

Using the marker counter function, which makes use of span

accuracy, makes possible high-speed signal frequency confirmation when checking millimeter-wave modulation frequencies.
(Resolution is determined by span setting.)

Harmonics Measurement Function

The harmonics measurement function is optimal for measuring spurious response for wireless applications. To measure
harmonic spurious response, simply entering or place a marker
on the fundamental frequency. Up to 10 orders of harmonics
can be measured and displayed.

Functions That Are Simple and Easy to Use

Ideal for Setting Up and maintenance Base Station,

Microwave Link Antennas

The task of setting up and servicing fixed microwave station

antennas requires precise adjustment of their orientations.
This is accomplished by adjusting the antenna angle to find the
maximum reception level while monitoring waveforms on a
spectrum analyzer.
With a capability to display three independent traces, A/B/C,
simultaneously, the U3771/3772 decreases the complexity in
locating the optimal reception using MAX hold and write
modes. The use of a Digital IF yields better level repeatability
than existing spectrum analyzers, and that combined with the
above capability makes the U3771/3772 the best spectrum
analyzer for antenna adjustment.
