The GSP-9300B is a 3 GHz spectrum analyzer built to meet basic RF measurement requirements. A spectrum analyzer resolves a signal into its individual frequency components, displaying amplitude versus frequency so an engineer can see exactly where energy sits across the band and how stable it is. The GSP-9300B delivers frequency stability of 0.025 ppm and an aging rate of 1 ppm per year, figures normally associated with high-end test equipment, together with a built-in preamplifier and more than twenty measurement applications. It is a stable, light, all-purpose instrument positioned for the educational market, production lines, and general signal-monitoring use.

Listed applications span the quick check and analysis of spectral characteristics, analysis of AM and FM signal characteristics, monitoring of satellite uplink signals from a satellite uplink truck, and deployment in test systems that require a very compact instrument. With the tracking generator option, the GSP-9300B can measure the frequency response of cables, attenuators, filters, and amplifiers. Production-line features such as auto wake-up, a sequence function, and limit-line testing make it well suited to repeatable manufacturing test, while its size and weight support both field testing and integration into automated test systems.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Holding inventory under our own roof lets us confirm what is on the shelf, control fulfillment timelines, and stand behind each instrument we sell.

Compare Other Models in This Series

The GSP-9300B is offered as a single 3 GHz spectrum analyzer platform that buyers configure through factory options rather than as a tiered family of distinct bandwidth models. Every unit shares the same core: a 9 kHz to 3 GHz range, 0.025 ppm frequency stability, a built-in preamplifier, a 0-50 dB attenuator, and more than twenty standard measurement applications.

What changes between configurations is the option content: a tracking generator for component frequency-response and power-linearity testing, a GPIB interface for bus control, and a battery pack for portable operation. The comparison below lays out how the available builds differ so a buyer can match the configuration to the application.

Each new GSP-9300B configuration below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Selecting the page that matches the build and condition you need ensures the price and the included options reflect that specific unit.

The base GSP-9300B includes the spectrum analyzer, power cord, certificate of calibration, and software CD-ROM. From there, three factory options define the available builds: Opt.01 adds the tracking generator (100 kHz to 3 GHz, output -50 dBm to 0 dBm in 0.5 dB steps), Opt.02 adds the Li-Ion battery pack (DC 10.8 V, 5200 mAh / 56 Wh), and Opt.03 adds the GPIB interface.

A fully loaded build carrying all options, the tracking generator, GPIB, and battery, is identified by the GSP-9300BGD1DH ordering code. The comparison table that follows shows which options each configuration carries so the build can be matched to the measurement and automation requirements at hand.

Additional differences in specifications beyond the few shown above are not listed here — see each model's full specifications below.

Accessories Supplied

• Power Cord
• Certificate of Calibration
• CD-ROM (with Quick Start Guide, User Manual, Programming Manual, SpectrumShot Software, SpectrumShot Guide & IVI Driver)

Product Core & Specifications

Important: Maximum safe input level: +33 dBm average total power and +/-50 V DC.

Important: Specifications apply when the GSP-9300B is powered on for at least 30 minutes to warm up to a temperature of 20 °C to 30 °C, unless otherwise specified.

Recommended pairing: combine the GKT-008 EMI Near Field Probe Set with the unit's built-in EMI filter to conduct EMI tests and debugging.
