SHA800A Analyzer DataSheet
General Description
The SIGLENT SHA850A, a handheld portable spectrum analyzer and cable-and-antenna analyzer, is a
powerful and flexible tool for those field and outdoor RF applications. Including communication
engineering, telecom operation and maintenance, radio management, factory production, education and
teaching and many other fields.
With a frequency range up to 7.5 GHz, the analyzer delivers reliable automatic measurements and
multiple modes of operation. A spectrum analyzer, including built-in amplifier and independent signal
source, fast scanning speed, high sensitivity, can achieve broadcast monitoring, channel power scanning,
wireless interference location, power monitoring, electromagnetic compatibility, and other functions. A
cable and antenna tester including built-in DC voltage bias, with a 1-path-2-port vector network analysis
function, can measure TDR, VSWR, port matching debugging, insertion loss measurement, tower
amplifier debugging, cable fault location, Smith chart, etc.

Specifications
Specifications are valid under the following conditions: The instrument is within the calibration period, has
been stored between 0 and 50°C for at least 2 hours prior to use, and has been powered on and warmed
up for at least 60 minutes. The specifications include the measurement uncertainty, unless otherwise
noted.
Specifications: All products are guaranteed to meet published specifications when operating at room
temperature (approximately 25°C), unless otherwise noted.
Typical: Performance deemed typical implies that 80 percent of the measurement results will meet the
typical published performance with a 95th percentile confidence level at room temperature (approximately
25°C). Typical performance is not warranted and does not include measurement uncertainty.
Nominal: The expected performance or design attribute.
