Recent experiments have required the measurement of short pulse high bandwidth microwave spectra. To meet this need we built a GHz-bandwidth acousto-optic spectrum analyzer. The hardware includes a HeNe laser, collimating optics, Brag cell, steak camera, microchannel plate intensifier and film cassette. The frequency range measured was 350--2000 MHz with a dynamic range greater than 20 dB. Pulse widths from 10 ns were measured with this system. 4 figs.
