Ideal for wireless design, research and development and production test engineers, the Aeroflex 3280 series of spectrum analysers offer digital demodulation for the analysis of 802.11a, b and g wireless networks. Digital demodulation in the 3280 Series spectrum analysers allows engineers to analyse the transmitter characteristics of a wireless device.

Digital demodulation in the 3280 Series is easily operated in one of two modes.

Full-frequency mode links the rear panel IF output at 421.4MHz to the demodulator input, allowing the user to demodulate signals over the full frequency range of the spectrum analyser (3GHz, 13.2GHz or 26.5GHz).

Dual-channel mode links directly from the instrument’s front panel or optionally via a rear panel connector to create a unique dual-channel instrument.

The frequency range for the direct input of the demodulator is 300MHz to 3GHz.

Although the 3280 Series’ digital demodulation hardware option does not include direct IandQ outputs, users who require it can access a direct digital IandQ output in streaming serial format by adding the optional low-voltage data signal (LVDS) output cable.
