User manual TEKTRONIX H600 DATASHEET

[. . . ] Signals that are present in the spectrum today but were not there yesterday are of particular interest. Reference signals can be stored and deviations from this reference can be quickly identified using the trace math feature. The H600 and SA2600 Series make analysis easier by quickly logging signals that are weak, bursting, hopping, time multiplexed, or intentionally random. It takes advantage of the FFT-based spectrum analysis capability to allow users to see the true shape of the signal, even when it is bursting. [. . . ] It provides graphical tools that allow users to quickly create a spectral region of interest, enabling users to identify and sort signals efficiently. The spectral profile mask, when overlaid on top of a trace, provides signal shape guidance while frequency, bandwidth, channel number, and location are displayed allowing for quick checks. In-depth analysis is provided by a Spectral Correlation Function (SCF) measurement which will reveal hidden cyclo-stationary components. SCF provides information on how well the framing, time slot, chip rates, and other internal signal rates match the rates of a valid signal. It is faster than manual signal identification techniques, does not require prior knowledge of the signal, and is robust when working with poor signals. SCF tolerates a poor SNR, large carrier frequency offset and fading. Locate Once the signal has been identified as a threat, the H600 and SA2600 Series provide various field-proven signal hunting tools to locate the offending signals. For the easier-to-find signals, the signal strength meter produces tones that vary with pitch as a function of the strength of this Locate interference with integrated mapping solution signal. This allows the operator to look for signals while watching their surroundings, not the screen. For signals that are harder to find, such as signals influenced by multipath, fading, low signal strength, etc, the H600 and SA2600 Series provide several signal mapping tools to facilitate hunting for these signals. Analyzing mapped signals is a quick way to find signals that can be difficult to find otherwise. The mapping capability is also a way to document what you have found. Traces can be recorded on a map either manually or automatically. Built-in GPS can be used to automatically record signal position and time data as the operator moves. For indoor use, a unique tap-and-walk interface provides signal mapping capability. Color-coded icons automatically record the relevant measurements based on preset thresholds for acceptability. www. tektronix. com/products/rsa 3 Data Sheet Characteristics General Performance Characteristics Characteristic RF Input Description Operating Frequency Range Maximum Operating Input Level 10 kHz - 6. 2 GHz +20 dBm peak envelope power This is the maximum input level at which the instrument will meet its performance specifications.
