FieldFox handheld spectrum analyzers: frequently asked questions

A handheld spectrum analyzer is a compact, portable instrument for measuring and displaying the frequency spectrum of signals. Similar to the benchtop spectrum analyzer, the core function is to visually represent the strength of signals across a range of frequencies. Other advanced features include signal demodulation, real-time spectrum analysis, and integrated geolocation.

Spectrum analysis primarily measures the frequency, power, and noise of a signal. All of these are essential measurements in the field, where lugging a benchtop analyzer would be difficult. Handheld analyzers are portable, rugged, and lightweight. They are built to last in harsh conditions and overcome sun glare. Bring the solutions out in the field with you and never compromise capability or portability.

Yes, using real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA) up to 50 GHz, FieldFox can capture interfering signals in real-time. With a dynamic density display and high Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) rate, the FieldFox displays gap-free data capture. For more information about FieldFox RTSA, check out our brochure: FieldFox Handheld Analyzers with Real-time Spectrum Analysis (RTSA).  

The key spectrum analyzer functions of FieldFox are over-the-air (OTA) measurements, real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA), electromagnetic field (EMF) measurements, analog demodulation, channel scanning, and noise figure analysis. 

Handheld spectrum analyzers are multi-purpose tools used for verifying and maintaining communication system performance. This includes troubleshooting RF networks, interference hunting, performing site surveys, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
