Aeroflex releases new RF spectrum analyzer option and P25 capabilities for the 3500 hand-held radio test set
(Product News, 31 Mar 2008 )
Aeroflex has announced the release of a new RF spectrum analyzer option for the 3500 hand-held 1GHz Radio Test Set. The new spectrum analyzer option now allows users to see the signals they are receiving. In addition, the 3500 will have P25 parametric test capabilities by summer 2008, making it even more versatile.
Using an advanced Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm, the 3500 spectrum analyzer option provides an almost instantaneous display of the RF frequency spectrum. The 3500 has the ability to measure signal levels down to -136dBm, providing advanced signal analysis in a lightweight platform, weighing less than 8.5lbs. Operation of the 3500 spectrum analyzer includes span ranges of 10kHz to 5MHz and an effective resolution bandwidth as small as 19Hz. Marker functions are available for the user to measure power in a specified bandwidth. Based on a rugged design that has been approved by the U.S. military, the 3500 offers a wide range of RF test and analysis tools. Features such as broadband power meter, frequency meter, deviation and modulation Index, SINAD and distortion measurements set the 3500 apart from other portable RF test equipment.
Aeroflex will equip the 3500 with P25 parametric tests, with initial availability in summer 2008.
