Spectrum monitoring and Interference analyzing with (Option SIM)
Spectrogram/trace view• Spectrogram displays 3-dimensions of the spectrum:
frequency, amplitude, and time• Three display modes: spectrogram only, spectrum trace
only, and dual-view
Spectrogram record and playback• Records spectrogram data to both internal memory and
external USB memory stick, and playback on instrument
• Record time depends on sweep interval
See more details• Two markers available to display frequency, amplitude
and time information• Provides limit lines with pass/fail functionality• Audio alert to indicate signal strength in a specified
frequency range• GPS information can be tagged to spectrogram data.
Spectrogram record (20 GHz full span)

Antenna Characteristics
• Site Survey - antenna similar to the actual system
• Weak Signals - high gain antenna
• Interferers - high gain antenna for direction finding
Amplitude Correction and Field Strength Units
Amplitude Correction = loss + gain
Data Sampling
Length and rate of data logging are related to type of transmissions: continuous, periodic, randomLog measurements as image files (jpg, bmp) or text files (CSV)
