Spectrum Compact is an ultra light and easy-to-use measurement solution for the 2 - 40 GHz licensed microwave frequency bands. Designed specifically for comfortable outdoor use in a variety of challenging environments, this battery-powered device is a must-have tool for any microwave radio engineer performing equipment installation, link troubleshooting or gathering data for site planning purposes.
One of the most prominent features of the SAF Spectrum Compact is its form factor. The dimensions of the device don’t exceed those of a cell phone, and its weight is only 10.6 ounces/300grams.
Instead of focusing on features that would only be useful in a laboratory environment, this device has the qualities and functionality needed by microwave field engineers to efficiently perform their daily tasks – radio parameter verification, antenna alignment, interference and multipath detection, power in band measurements, link troubleshooting, saving the spectrum curves for reports and later analysis, etc. Spectrum Compact utilizes a resistive touch screen for ease of use in the field, while allowing the engineer to wear gloves to manipulate the device. Spectrum Compact’s high sensitivity (-105 dBm/MHz) and low noise floor enables field engineers to detect even exceptionally week signals – much better than the spectrum analyzers built into the microwave radio.
This device is compatible with any vendor’s antenna and is an essential tool for:
- Site investigation before installation
- Antenna installation/alignment and maintenance
- Link troubleshooting
- Radio verification
- Network monitoring, etc.
Spectrum Compact’s main advantages:
- Industry leading -105 dBm/MHz receiver sensitivity
- Intuitive control and interactive GUI with instant ON/OFF functionality
- Resistive LCD Touchscreen that allows working with gloves on
