Introducing PC-Controlled Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers (RTSA)

What is a Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer? Real-time spectrum Real-time spectrogram Real-time power spectral density (persistence) Real-Time Triggering Real-Time Recording and Playback 2.4 GHz ISM Band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

When do you use a Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer? Intermittent signals Pulsed signals Frequency-hopping signals Signals hidden underneath signals Multi-signal environments – ISM Bands – 915 MHz, 2.4, 5.8, 24 GHz

There are limited solutions in the market today
