Used TEKTRONIX AWS 503 #86784 for sale

TEKTRONIX AWS 503 is a dual-trace spectrum analyzer that is used for high-performance, high-speed signal reporting and test analysis. It has a wide frequency range from 10 Hz to 3 GHz and high-accuracy analogue and digital processors. AWS 503 is ideal for a variety of uses such as antenna, cable and other large systems testing, radar system evaluation, interference monitoring and correction, service testing and telecommunications research. TEKTRONIX AWS 503 is a stand-alone model that can be used without an external controller or computer for simple spectrum measurements and monitoring. Its display has a dual trace readout, with a 17 cm (6.7 in) diagonal screen, a 5x zoom-in option, and up to 105 predefined markers. AWS 503 has a particularly high resolution frequency resolution of 1Hz to 6GHz and excellent performance with wide dynamic range and spurious-free display. It is also low-noise and has typical low-distortion, low-reflection measurements. TEKTRONIX AWS 503 comes with a range of advanced features, including several detectors and markers, frequency Domain filters, Automatic Amplitude Control, narrow and wide span views, QuickTime delay (for slow sweeps), low-noise pre-amplifier, and an internal signal generator. The TRACK mode option allows the measurement of signals in frequency, power, and amplitude domains. It also offers multiple masking options, including frequency domain masking, amplitude domain masking, and PM noise analysis. The signal generator allows signal generation of high-power carrier signals and low-level spectrum-modulated signals, with programmable output level up to +11 dBm. The signal generator is also used for modulation, AM/FM signal generation, signal-to-noise ratio measurements and discrimination testing. The TRACK mode has a wide array of AC and DC control options such as brightness, contrast, and scan rate. Additionally, a built-in noise generator for signal-to-noise ratio testing and enhanced scanner sweep speed for faster signal analysis. Finally, AWS 503 is equipped with a comprehensive range of triggering options, including external trigger and period measurements. TEKTRONIX AWS 503 can receive multi-channel sweeps, so it can monitor multiple signals simultaneously. This makes it suitable for a variety of applications.
