FAQs

• What is the operational frequency range and resolution of this spectrum analyzer? The unit covers 300 MHz to 3,000 MHz with a frequency resolution of 10 kHz and selectable resolution bandwidths from 10 kHz to 300 kHz.
• How is field intensity or power density measured using a spectrum analyzer? A spectrum analyzer is typically attached by a coaxial cable to a receiving antenna. Free space values of power density must be converted to actual measurements based on the antenna's specific characteristics and cable losses.
• What is the maximum safe input level for this device? The analyzer supports a maximum safe RF input level of up to +25 dBm when utilizing its internal attenuation.
• Problems we solve: how do we choose measurement equipment? Operating bands, field conditions and reporting needs can pull instrument selection in different directions. Share the signals you need to measure with Cyntony to compare equipment and identify specifications requiring manufacturer confirmation (Our process).
• Outcomes we deliver: what comes from working through the requirements? The practical outcome is a requirements-led set of product options to evaluate with Cyntony. Confirm performance, compatibility and any service scope for your configuration before selection (Our process).
