RF Interference Hunting is the practice of discovering, locating, and analyzing unwanted RF signals. Interference hunting equipment like the Narda SignalShark is ideal for RF hunting, and can also be used for spectrum monitoring, spectrum analysis, and direction finding.
Why Does RF Signal Analysis Matter?
Whether it involves TV, radio, or a wireless phone, signal integrity is essential for a device or system’s functionality. In a grander scale, the telecommunications industry relies on in-depth signal analysis, in order to find and fix RF interference. Additional or unauthorized signals can interfere with the authorized and intended system signals. This can cause communications to fail or for a network to decrease in quality.
What RF Interference Hunting?
RF Interference Hunting is the practice of finding, analyzing, and fixing networks through interference signal detection. Various industries depend on reliable and uncompromised network systems, such as experts in telecommunications, aerospace, and electrical engineering. RF interference finding is becoming more critical as more communication systems are being developed across different bandwidths. With low noise figure, fast sweep times, and various demodulations, RF signals can be detected, analyzed, and localized.
RF Interference Hunting Equipment
With the advancement in technology around spectrum and signal analysis, software is now used in combination with directional antennas to map out interference. Whether it is for realigning transmission antennas or product testing in the real world environment, these are great tools for mobile testing. Having similar features to a benchtop signal analyzer, these devices have built in GPS integrated with mapping. The signal analysis that can be completed with these devices is key to maintaining a network. ATEC carries RF Interference Hunting Equipment, such as:
