About the 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer
The 9102 is a lightweight, full-featured spectrum analyzer for many
applications:
– Installation troubleshooting, repair and maintenance.
– Acceptance and installation troubleshooting of antenna and cable
installations.
– Assessment and verification of electromagnetic radiation to verify
against EMI.
– Production test and alignment of the output of RF modules.
– Field measurements and verification of base station emissions.
– Used to detect and locate faulty mobile phone parts and compo-
nents.
Typical measurements with the 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer
include transmitter testing, alignment of modulators and measuring
switch breakthrough. Additional options such as a tracking generator
option, the 9160 VSWR/DTF Bridge and the 9130 VSWR/DTF Reflec-
tion Measurement Option expand the capabilities of the 9102 towards
a scalar network analyzer. The analyzer is fully controllable via front
panel or by remote control from a PC.
For base station installation or maintenance engineers the 9102 offers
the full scope of common performance measurements of the BTS
antenna systems: Return Loss (Reflection), Tower-Mounted Amplifier
(Transmission) and Distance to Fault measurement with a standard
resolution of 500 points (min. 0.05 m) in one lightweight device.
Measurement results and instrument settings can easily be transferred
to a PC for presentation or post-processing. This rugged instrument is
suitable for stationary and mobile usage and meets many application
needs.
