6. Preparing for Operation
6.1 Stand
Utilize the stand on the back to use the screen in an easier-to-see angle on the desk.
6.2 Connection to power supply
The AC adapter MA400 is used to power the instrument and for charging the MB400 battery. (Charging starts
automatically if the AC adapter is connected and unit is power-off.) Connect the adapter as in the figure below and
connect the AC plug to the power line (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz). For static electricity protection, ground the unit
by connecting the three cores if possible. Not grounding the unit can damage the unit and/or device being
measured. Do not use an AC adapter other than the MA400 supplied with the unit. Using an AC adapter other
than the MA400 may cause damage to the unit.
The battery indicator is divided into five levels and is displayed on the screen. When the mark of the battery
remainder displays , the buzzer will sound even if buzzer is OFF under settings, and the power will turn off
within a few minutes. Ensure to protect any data or measurements promptly by saving into memory to prevent
data lost if the unit shuts down.
Battery full charge time: approx. 4 hours
Battery operating time: 4 hours maximum
(with backlight set to minimum)
*Tested at normal temperature with initial setting
parameters.
Connect to 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Please make sure to connect to ground.

* Differing from base band at which the up-conversion of input frequency is done with a frequency mixer, the
spurious response peculiar to band 1- and band 1+ is generated because the down-conversion is done at those
two bands.
* About SPURIOUS FREE mode
1. SPURIOUS FREE mode is a mode by which the spurious response peculiarly caused at band
1+ is simply deleted.
2. SPURIOUS FREE mode is especially effective in the measurement of a stationary wave.
3. If SPURIOUS FREE mode is used in measurement of a signal with level change or frequency
change, the phenomenon that the level goes down will occur.
4. The noise level goes down a little in case of a noise changing at random. In short, the same
phenomenon as MIN HOLD function happens.
* How to judge SPURIOUS response at band 1- and band 1+
The procedure for judging SPURIOUS response at band 1- and band 1+ is as follows.
1. Set the center frequency to < (current setting value) + f >.
2. The spectrum shifting left by f is a correct spectrum, but another spectrum shifting such as left
by 2f, left by 3f, right by f, right by 2f or right by 3f is a spurious response.
* f should be changed according to SPAN for easy judgment. For reference;
f = SPAN / (10 to 50) (corresponding to 0.2 to 1 div)
Example: judging a spectrum displayed at 6.92 GHz
(setting : center frequency 6.92 GHz and SPAN 500 MHz)
1. Set the center frequency to < 6.92 GHz + 500 MHz/25 > = 6.94GHz.
2. A spectrum at 6.92 GHz (shifting left by f from 6.94 GHz) is correct. A spectrum at 6.98 GHz (shifting
right by 2f from 6.94 GHz) is spurious.
* Additionally, a spurious response mentioned above shifting right by 2f at band 1+ is largest, and other
spurious response are about 25 to 50 dB smaller than that.

25.8 Writing of Original Compensation Data
When antennas or probes other than the option is used in electric field strength measurement or magnetic field
strength measurement, it is necessary to write each original compensation data into the unit.
Please write the data into the unit according to the following description.
There are two methods for writing. Either use the 2650A PC Software or write a custom program using interface
commands.

* Data of ten points or less can be written. 0Hz is not valid as a data point.
3) Using 2650A PC software for writing
1. Create the text file of compensation data.
76
Create a new text file, and open it with a text editor.
Write the frequency and compensation data in the following format.
* Format
frequency: compensation data, frequency: compensation data, · · ·
Example of M405
300M:0.0DBI,350M:1.0DBI,400M:1.4DBI,450M:1.4DBI,500M:0.0DBI
* Write the unit with a capital letter as it is case sensitive. G (GHz) is also available.
2. Write the text file into the unit with 2650A PC software.
Connect the personal computer to 2650A series with the included USB cable and turn on the power of
the 2650A/2651 series.
From the upper menu of the PC software,
select [File] [Write E/F User Data] in case of electric field strength measurement, or
select [File] [Write M/F User Data] in case of magnetic field strength measurement.
When the text file created beforehand is selected, the data is written.
* Install the specified USB driver in the personal computer prior to using the PC software.
(Refer to 25.3 Installation of Driver)
4) Method of using original program for writing
1. Prepare the USB communication software.
Connect the personal computer to the 2650A/2651 series with the included USB cable and turn on the
power of the 2650A/2651 series.
2. Write the data into the unit.
Transfer the data in the following format with the USB communication software.
* Format
In case of electric field strength measurement;
EFUSER frequency: compensation data, frequency: compensation data, · · ·
In case of magnetic field strength measurement;
MFUSER frequency: compensation data, frequency: compensation data, · · ·
Example of CP-2S
MFUSER10M:86.7DB,100M:69.2DB,1G:50.7DB,2G:44.9DB,3G:40.1DB
* Write the unit with a capital letter as it is case sensitive. G (GHz) is also available.
3. When the writing ends correctly, OK is returned.
5) How to use
Set the measuring function of the 2650A/2651 series to electric field strength measurement mode or
magnetic field strength measurement mode.
By pushing [MEAS] [E/F ANT], electric field strength measurement mode is set.
By pushing [MEAS] [M/F PROBE], magnetic field strength measurement mode is set.
Select USER from antennas or probes on the display by pushing [F1].
Then, the measurement by the written data will begin.
* The written data remains even if power is turned off.
* The measuring mode returns to a usual measurement mode when turning off power.
6) About antenna gain
77
In the following context, the antenna gain means an absolute gain.
When the antenna gain is a relative gain, it can change into an absolute gain by adding +2.15 dB.
Absolute gain [dBi] = Relative gain [dBd] + 2.15 dB
As a reference, the conversion formula to electric field strength is indicated below:
E = (480π2 x Pa) / (Ga x λ2))
E: Electric field strength [V/m]
Pa: Received electric power [W]
Ga: Antenna gain [times] = 10(antenna gain [dBi] ÷ 10)
λ : Wavelength [m] = (3 × 108) ÷ frequency [H z]
