    Multi-dimensional Signal Quality Analysis
    • Noise Measurement Function :Simultaneously measures AM noise and phase noise without changing the RF connection, supporting baseband noise analysis from 1 Hz to 100 MHz, suitable for VCO characteristic characterization (frequency/power/DC current versus voltage).
    • real-time spectrum monitoring :Captures the signal spectrum in real time within a 15 MHz sweep range, can detect burst interference or nonlinear distortion, and accelerates the debugging efficiency of radar chirp signals.
    • Transient Measurement :Simultaneously monitors changes in frequency, phase, and power over time, and combined with the video trigger function, it can capture unexpected frequency jumps, suitable for transient analysis of satellite communication signals.
    Intelligent Operation and Scalability
    • Graphical User Interface :The 10.4-inch touch screen supports multi-window display, allowing simultaneous viewing of phase noise, jitter, and spectrum data, and one-click generation of test reports.
