Rent the Tektronix SA2500 Spectrum Analyzer
The Tektronix SA2500 Spectrum Analyzer is designed for professionals who demand superior field performance. With its robust, handheld build, this analyzer boasts exceptional specifications that allow you to effectively scan, classify, and locate signals in various environments.
Key Features and Specifications
Scan Capabilities:
- Delivers benchtop spectrum analyzer performance in a ruggedized, battery-operated unit.
- Offers greater than 70 dB spurious free dynamic range (SFDR), with phase noise specifications guaranteed at -95 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset, covering a frequency range from 10 kHz to 6.2 GHz.
- Exhibits excellent sensitivity for detecting low-level signals, achieving a -153 dBm DANL at 10 Hz RBW (equivalent to -163 dBm/Hz), ideal for uncovering RF bugs and unauthorized transmitters.
- Incorporates the Spectrum Correlation Function (SCF) which identifies "embedded" signals or interferers masked by other wideband signals.
- Equipped with a LAN interface for remote control and unattended monitoring, enhancing overall spectrum awareness.
Locating Signals:
- Features rapid targeting of signals along with efficient signal hunting, mapping, and documentation tools.
- Contains a built-in GPS receiver that enables tracking of outdoor signals, allowing measurements to be plotted directly onto GPS geo-referenced maps, including Pitney Bowes Mapinfo, Google™ Earth, Microsoft® MapPoint®, and Bitmap.
- Implements high-accuracy measurement synchronization and time stamping for improved spectrum awareness.
- Offers a Tap-and-Walk-and-Tap interface for in-building signal hunting.
- Backlit display ensures visibility in direct sunlight, providing extended battery life with hot-swappable dual batteries.
- Designed with rugged durability according to MIL-PRF-28800F standards.
