RENT TEKTRONIX H500 Spectrum Analyzer (call for availability)
The Tektronix H500 Spectrum Analyzer is a cutting-edge, real-time tool designed for an expansive array of RF measurement applications. Featuring the innovative DPX™ Live RF spectrum display, this analyzer excels in functionalities such as signal classification and transient event discovery, making it an indispensable asset for RF professionals.
Key Features & Specifications of the Tektronix H500
Scan Capabilities:
- DPX™ Live RF Spectrum Display: Utilizes revolutionary technology with a DPX Spectrum Mask that visually represents live RF signals based on frequency occurrence. Processes up to 10,000 spectrums per second with 100% Probability of Intercept (POI) for capturing pulsed, radar, and hopping signals with a minimum signal duration of just 125 µs.
- Benchtop Performance: Combines the performance of a benchtop spectrum analyzer within a rugged, handheld, battery-operated unit; delivers a spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) exceeding 70 dB and phase noise specifications of -95 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset.
- High Sensitivity: Capable of detecting very low-level signals with a displayed average noise level (DANL) of -153 dBm at 10 Hz RBW, making it ideal for RF bug detection and monitoring unauthorized transmission.
- Spectrum Correlation Function (SCF): Detects "embedded" signals or interferers that may be concealed under other wideband RF signals.
- LAN Interface: Facilitates remote control and enhances capabilities for unattended spectrum monitoring stations.
Classification Features:
- Fast Signal Identification: The built-in SCF provides rapid identification of signals for quick analysis.
- Built-in Classification: Efficiently classifies common signals such as WLAN, GSM, W-CDMA, CDMA, and ATSC, aiding in quick assessments of legitimacy.
- Flexible Database Management: Supports the editing and sharing of signal classification databases via CSV file formats.
- Data Export: Allows the export of I/Q data in CSV, MATLAB®, and IQT formats, facilitating comprehensive post-analysis.
Signal Locating Features:
- Rapid Targeting: Equipped with proven signal hunting, mapping, and documentation tools for efficient signal analysis.
- GPS Functionality: Comes with a built-in GPS receiver that enables outdoor signal tracking, with measurements plotted on geo-referenced maps like Google Earth and Microsoft® MapPoint®.
- Improved Spectrum Awareness: Features high-accuracy measurement synchronization and timestamping for enhanced situational awareness.
- Simplified Indoor Signal Hunting: Operates with an intuitive Tap-and-Walk-and-Tap interface for easy in-building signal detection.
- Ergonomic Design: Backlit display for optimal visibility in direct sunlight, paired with dual hot-swappable batteries that provide extended operational life.
- Durable Construction: Built to rugged standards per MIL-PRF-28800F, ensuring reliability in challenging environments.
