The UTS5026A is a Performance-Series signal analyzer covering 9 kHz to 26.5 GHz in a single instrument, reaching through the K band to cover sub-6 GHz cellular and Wi-Fi bands, SATCOM downlinks, and microwave point-to-point links.
Displayed average noise level reaches −163 dBm/Hz typical with the optional preamplifier engaged (−150 dBm/Hz baseline), phase noise is −107 dBc/Hz typical at 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset, and total absolute amplitude accuracy is ±0.40 dB at the 50 MHz reference. Resolution bandwidth resolves from 1 Hz to 3 MHz in 10% steps plus 4/5/6/8 MHz wide settings, with selectivity below 4.1:1 and up to 100,001 sweep points per trace across seven detector types. Maximum safe input is +27 dBm average / +47 dBm peak (gated). A 15.6-inch 1920 × 1080 capacitive multi-touch display, an NMD 2.92 mm RF input, 10 MHz reference in/out, USB 3.0/2.0, and LAN (VXI-11) complete the platform. Firmware updates are free and licensed options do not expire.
A modular measurement library — vector signal demodulation, I/Q capture, EMI pre-compliance, 5G NR and LTE FDD/TDD decoding, dedicated phase-noise measurement, and analog AM/FM demodulation — is available as licensed unlocks. It suits RF and microwave design teams, EMC pre-compliance benches, and cellular and SATCOM development groups. ECCN 3A992.a.
