The design of this instrument is the culmination of over 15 years of experience in developing robust RF high-frequency instruments that are cost-sensitive and widely used across the globe.

It features advanced modes such as Zero Span, Waterfall 2D and 3D, and Power Channel, offering enhanced flexibility to effectively handle a wide range of scenarios.

Capture and replay of elusive events has been made effortless, allowing for optimal monitoring of IoT, radio packets, and continuous modulated and unmodulated signals.

Wideband Design

With the ability to resolve 8GHz band detection events in just 100uS, our device ensures accurate and fast detection across a wide frequency range.

Advanced Power Meter

Enjoy continuous and trigger modes for precise power measurement and analysis.

The Trigger mode of this instrument enables the accurate capture of pulse and fast events that may be challenging to capture using other methods.

Tracking Generator

This feature allows for rapid diagnostics and characterization of cables, filters, and amplifiers. When combined with a directional coupler, it can measure impedance and characterize antenna VSWR.

Configurable Radio Standards

Easily configure channel measurements to match your specific radio standards, ensuring compatibility and accuracy.

• Integrated Internal Preamplifier LNA and Attenuators: Our device includes an integrated preamplifier LNA and attenuators, significantly increasing the dynamic range and enabling handling of low-level and high-level RF signals.
• Cable Tester1: Perform instant and easy checks of RF cables of any length, ensuring their proper functioning.

Heatmap Coverage Map

Utilize the external GPS assistance and internal manual operation to measure signal strength on the go, creating a heatmap of coverage areas.

To display geolocated data positions on a map, the current implementation of this feature requires a computer connected to the Internet.

• Frequency Coordination: Advanced frequency coordination features specifically designed for A/V and Wireless Microphone applications, minimizing interference, intermodulation, and enabling continuous monitoring.
  • This Feature Requires software license

WiFi Analyzer

It offers the capability to detect signals present on any 2.4/5.8GHz band channel, enabling accurate identification of interference, collisions, and noise in WiFi environments.

• Record/Save/Replay Spectrum Data: Automatically save scan data on RAM for easy replay of any event. Additionally, the data can be manually or automatically saved in binary and CSV formats for later use.
• Continuous Monitoring and Alerting: Stay informed with reliable alerts, including configurable limit lines, to ensure you never miss critical events.
• Export Data to WSM/WWB6/Excel/Matlab: Seamlessly export all captured data to a USB drive for use in other software applications such as WSM, WWB6, Excel, or Matlab.
