The BK Precision 2683 Spectrum Analyzer

Performance and Functionality in a Lightweight, Compact Design

The BK Precision 2683 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz Benchtop Spectrum Analyzer delivers performance and functionality in frequency ranges from 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz in a lightweight, compact design, suitable for lab and field use. This model offers a standard pre-amplifier, tracking generator, and 1 Hz minimum RBW. The included advanced measurements give the user access to even more powerful features. In addition, these analyzers provide low phase noise and displayed average noise level (DANL) to view critical detail in the spectrum which is beautifully displayed on the 10.1" widescreen color display. The reflection measurement option enables VSWR, reflection coefficient, and return loss measurements, while the EMI pre-compliance option enables pre-defined bandwidth set points and quasi-peak detection.

Delta Markers

Delta Markers

Powerful delta markers can be used to select amplitude, span, stop, start or center frequency, measure noise level, amplitude or frequency.

4 Independent Traces

Four independent traces and markers

Capture snapshots, continuously update the maximum or minimum value, and perform math on all 4 individually colored traces.

DANL

Low displayed average noise level (DANL)

Taking advantage of the preamp and -161 dBm DANL to measure low level signals accurately.

Low Phase Noise

Low Phase Noise for accurate measurements

This model features phase noise -98 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz, offset 10 kHz.

Spectrum Monitor

2D and 3D Spectrum Monitor

The 2D and 3D spectrum monitor features are standard on this model. The 3D spectrum monitor can be displayed using the provided PC software, while the 2D is viewable on the spectrum analyzer screen and in the PC software. This feature shows how the frequency content of a signal changes over time by representing the power intensity with a color gradient.

ACPR

Adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR)

In today’s crowded spectrum, ACPR measurements are critical to ensure compliance with regulations. The 2683 displays the main channel power, left and right channel power as well as bandwidth for each channel on screen for ease of determining the total power being transmitted and the spectrum being used.
