Frequency Stability: 0.025ppm | Wireless communications applications are nowadays ubiquitous. Signals in the limited spectrum are getting very crowded. Therefore, the demands of signal efficiency and frequency stability are higher and stricter. To meet high precision measurement requirements, GSP-9300B provides the frequency stability of 0.025ppm and the aging rate of 1ppm/year, which only appear in high-end T&M equipment. |
Built-in Preamplifier | Engineers often face the challenge of measuring small RF signals during product development stage. GSP-9300B’s built-in preamplifier provides the base noise of -149dBm. When collocating with the built-in EMI filter and the dedicated EMI near field probe, GSP-9300B can conduct EMI tests and debugging. |
More than 20 measurement applications | GSP-9300B provides rich signal processing functions, including AM/FM modulation signal analysis, signal channel analysis, and CATV parameter test, characteristic test on signal stability, and frequency response or power linearity tests for components to substantially bring up the measurement convenience. Most competitors in the same class only offer a few test functions, and the standard built-in functions of GSP-9300B are options for competitors. |
