8201 Boonton Audio Analyzer

Features:

Versatile Audio Filters

• 4 Low pass 
• 4 High pass 
• 4 De-emphasis networks

Remote Control

• GPIB: Standard

RF Input

• Frequency Range: 100 kHz to 2.5 GHz
• Maximum Input: 1 watt (7 V RMS, +30 dBm)
• Input Impedance: 50 Ω nominal, SWR <1.5

Audio Distortion/SINAD

• Distortion Range: 0.01 % to 100% THD or 0 to 80 dB SINAD
• Distortion Accuracy: ± 10% of reading or ± 1 dB SINAD. (The residual AM/FM or ØM must be accounted  for in distortion measurements)
• Frequency Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Automatic operation when modulation frequency is within this range
• Residual Noise & Distortion: Less than 0.1 % (60 dB SINAD) distortion

FM Modulation

• Measurement: + peak, -peak, peak average, quasi-peak and RMS
• Carrier Range: 0.2 MHz to 0.5 MHz, 0.5 MHz to 10 MHz, 10 MHz to 2.5 GHz
• Deviation Range: 0 to C.F./10 kHz, 0 to 150 kHz, 0 to 500 kHz

The Boonton Model 8201 Modulation Analyzer offers a unique combination of measurements including:

• AM, FM and ØM (AM and FM 1%, ØM 3% of readings)
• Carrier level and frequency (0.01 dB level and 10 Hz carrier resolution)
• Signal, noise and distortion power (sinad)

This eliminates the need for several different pieces of equipment.

Modulation is detected using peak, while residuals are measured using RMS and referenced to a specific level. These values are displayed in %, dB or quasi-peak, and the highest values are stored using the peak-hold function.

Signal frequency and level can be acquired automatically or input via the keyboard or remote command. The 8201 is a cost effective measurement tool for an ATE system, signal generator calibration or mobile radio production testing.
