Remote Spectrum Monitor MS27101A

The Anritsu MS27101A Remote Spectrum Monitor (RSM) is a compact, half-rack, networked RF receiver designed for long-range spectrum surveillance. Capable of operating thousands of kilometers from the control center, it provides accurate, high-speed monitoring up to 6 GHz, making it an ideal solution for regulatory agencies, broadcasters, and defense monitoring operations..

The MS27101A is part of Anritsu’s Remote Spectrum Monitoring solutions, engineered to deliver 24/7 wideband surveillance across remote or unmanned sites. With a compact half-rack design, it can be deployed across urban rooftops, rural sites, and mobile stations, providing seamless connectivity to central monitoring hubs via IP-based control.

Its frequency agility, ultra-fine tuning resolution (1 Hz), and fast 24 GHz/s sweep make it effective for capturing both persistent and transient signals. With resolution and video bandwidths ranging from 10 Hz to 3 MHz, operators can fine-tune the balance between speed and detail.

The wide dynamic range (>106 dB) and low noise floor make it ideal for detecting low-level signals, while a broad measurement range (DANL to +30 dBm) ensures it can also handle high-energy transmissions. The internal attenuator can be adjusted in 5 dB steps up to 50 dB, and amplitude scaling can be set to dBm or dBµV for versatile RF analysis.

Whether you're monitoring spectrum usage, hunting interference, or supporting compliance in regulated bands, the MS27101A offers the rugged reliability, scalability, and remote control functionality needed in today’s RF surveillance environments.
