I'm replaceing a less expensive Spectrum Analyzer
and I'm looking at these two models;
http://www.lptech.com/LPT-3000.html
http://www.aeroflex.com/ats/p...399C~120.html#
(A version) I'm primarly using it for OTA
(over the air) digital TV signal, measuring and
some 2-way radio and Wi-Fi spectrum monitoring.
The LP Technologies and Aeroflex/IFR are
both out of Kansas with Aeroflex being the older
and more established comapny. LP Technologies
LPT-3000 $6,000 (new) including a Tracking Generator,
Preamp, DTV mask & NIC. USB port. Optional software
$200 Aeroflex 2399A $5,000 (demo) including
Tracking generator, Hi Stability Timebase, Distance
to Fault software, read only software & Quasi
Peak Detectors & filters. Floppy drive (believe
it or not), Preamp $415 option, but I'm not sure
it is available for this version. Both units
are around the same size & weight, have a 6
1/2" Color LCD screen & coverage to 3 GHz. The
'C' version of the 2399 has a USB port, but it is
$8,300 new (probably less). Both are available directly
from the manufacture. What I was looking
for is input regarding the companies themselves
and how important is having a SA with a preamp?
(I do know the purpose, but never thought much of
amps at the receiver, only to make up for line loss).

No one here uses a Spectrum Analyzer?

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
