Spectrum Analyzer

Compact Size and High Performance

An 8 GHz Spectrum Analyzer Based on a New Concept

● Frequency range: 9 kHz to 8 GHz

● High throughput, twice as fast as our conventional models
● High accuracy: ±0.8 dB between 10 MHz and 3.1 GHz

● Standard configuration includes:

LAN port

U3751
 The U3751 is a portable 8 GHz
spectrum analyzer that can be
used in digital appliance produc-
tion lines, in installation and
maintenance of CATV and wire-
less LAN hotspots, and for a va-
riety of other purposes.
The U3751 provides high-speed
throughput twice*1 as high as
that provided by our conventional
models. It also contributes to
reduced tact time, an important
consideration in equipment in-
stallation on production lines.
