2.4.3
HF Frequency Range Extension ( R&S EB500-HF)
This is a hardware option: it requires a HF preselector board to be installed. With
the
HF option installed, signals from 9 kHz to 32 MHz can be obtained (which covers
the full HF range from 3 MHz to 30 MHz).
Refer to the operating manual for a detailed explanation.
2.4.4
SHF Frequency Range Extension ( R&S EB500-FE)
The FE option provides an extended frequency range from 3.6 GHz to 6 GHz.
Refer to the operating manual for a detailed explanation.
2.4.5
Direction Finding ( R&S EB500-DF)
In addition to detection, the direction from which the signal originates is also an
important criterion in radiomonitoring. When the DF upgrade R&S EB500-DF is
added, the R&S EB500 can be used as a single-channel direction finder. The DF
upgrade
consists of an installation kit for the R&S EB500. The corresponding direc-
tion-finding antenna must be selected separately.
Below follows a short explanation showing step-by-step how to achieve the required
settings in the configuration when connecting a DF antenna and how to use the
direction finder to locate the origin of a signal. Refer to the operating manual for a
detailed explanation.
2.4.5.1 Direction Finding Setup and Procedure
In the steps described below, it is presumed that R&S ADD197 and R&S ADD 075
Direction Finding antennas are installed with built-in compass R&S GH150 in a sta-
tionary system
