Getting Better Measurements on the Go with a FieldFox Handheld Analyzer

Application Notes

Today’s signal environment is crowded, complex, and dynamic. Wifi devices are clogging up the unlicensed portion of the frequency spectrum. Regulatory agencies have been reassigning FM stations, UHF and VHF television channels, and more, as digital transmissions supplant analog technologies. Cellular subscribers have an insatiable appetite for wireless data, and in some areas, the wireless bands overlap with military radar frequencies.

When you’re working on deployed RF, microwave and millimeter-wave systems, every piece of gear in your field kit has to be ready for whichever task you’re facing: routine maintenance, in-depth troubleshooting, or anything in between. The ideas and tips in this application note will help you get better measurements and accurate results with a handheld analyzer.
