The Advantest R3272 is a spectrum analyzer engineered for precision signal analysis across 100 Hz to 26.5 GHz. It delivers absolute amplitude accuracy of ±0.5 dB and noise floor performance of -155 dBm/Hz, making it suitable for characterization of complex signals in development, validation, and maintenance workflows. The instrument combines selectable resolution and video bandwidths (1 Hz to 10 MHz) with six marker functions, multiple detector modes, and advanced measurement capabilities including channel power, adjacent channel power ratio, occupied bandwidth, and phase noise analysis.
