The Portable Spectrum Analyzer is intended for general spectrum monitoring, recording and analysis. It allows quickly scan the RF environment and locate the unknown signals. The system is based on the NI USRP platform and uses software developed in the NI LabVIEW graphical programming environment.

Evolving digital RF communication standards pose an unprecedented challenge to the surveillance and security community.

Some equipment are not suitable for field use as they are not portable, can be easily damaged or require AC power. Featuring RF spectrum waterfall display, this system offers practical solutions for discovering transient events that slip past conventional spectrum analyzers.
