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)

Update interval Recording time by one .trc file (1500 frames Max, 4 MB)

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)

GPS Location Stamping• Agilent N934xC HSA optional built-in GPS receiver and antenna

• Data is date/time and GPS stamped
