Drone Detection at the Security & Counter Terror Expo

By

AaroniaUSA President, Mark Kaltman, recently returned from a visit to London for the 2017 Security and Counter Terror Expo, where our manufacturer Aaronia AG was exhibiting our recently upgraded Drone Detection System and Spectran V5 Real Time Spectrum Analyzers for TCSM and broad military / law enforcement applications. Aaronia’s elaborate and impressive exhibition booth stole the show, with giant LCD display screens demonstrating just how precise and effective the Aaronia Drone Detection System is, especially in mission critical defense applications.

Check out this video walkthrough of the Aaronia AG booth, featuring the world-class Drone Detection System and Spectran V5 Real Time RF Spectrum Analyzers.

What is a Real Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA)?

Back To Basics – What IS a Real Time Spectrum Analyzer and How Do They Work?

Unlike oscilloscopes, which display signals in the time domain (voltage against time), RF spectrum analyzers display signals in frequency domain (amplitude against frequency). This allows users to track signal levels and phase noise, as well as identify spurious signals and signal frequencies. Essentially, the RF spectrum analyzer is used to measure signals we know (our own transmitters or electrical equipment), or to track and identify spurious signals that we do not already know.

There are two main types of spectrum analyzer: digital and analog (often called sweep analyzers). The majority of spectrum analyzers available on the market today are digital, though there are still analog analyzers out there. As RF congestion continues to worsen, more and more spectrum analyzer users are understanding the need for digital sweeps, and are beginning to realize that what they truly require is real time spectrum analysis. Fortunately for them, real time spectrum analyzers (sometimes just referred to as “RTSA”) are more popular now than ever, offering instant real-time visualization of the RF environment without waiting for individual sweeps.

Getting the Most Out of Your RF Analyzers

A great video tutorial posted last month by Electronics Notes has been making its rounds in the RF engineering community, featuring general spectrum analyzer features, controls, operation notes, usage examples, and top tips from industry experts. Basic settings and controls are explored, along with some more advanced functions and features, including phase noise and spectral masks. [Read more…]

NEW & IMPROVED! Low Noise Pre-Amps

By

AaroniaUSA Expands LNA and Pre-Amp Line

Aaronia USA, the exclusive North American distributor of Aaronia RF and EMC test and measurement equipment, is thrilled to announce the expansion of our External Pre-Amplifier product line to include three new models. Previously, this line included two models of high-gain, low-noise 40 dB pre-amps in frequency ranges from 1 MHz – 1 GHz and 1 kHz – 10 GHz, as well as two models of low-frequency pre-amplifiers in frequency ranges from 1 Hz – 50 MHz. All AaroniaUSA low-noise amplifiers feature internal batteries (with typical run-time of 3-4 hours) and excel at “digging out” weak signals to guarantee accurate signal analysis even with outdated spectrum analyzers. The new pre-amplifier product additions address the limited frequency ranges and shorter battery lives of the previous models, with upgraded microchip technology and an expanded internal battery.

The Aaronia USA Spectran HF 4060 – for “When You Really Need Your Systems to Work”

Editor’s Note:

The following is a re-post of a user review of the AaroniaUSA HF 4060, written by Ken Freeman of Meeting Services Inc., originally posted on KaltmanCreationsLLC.com in June 2008. AaroniaUSA is a division of Kaltman Creations LLC.

“In our increasingly crowded Radio Frequency environment, we are hard pressed to deliver functional wireless systems and often are pressed into sub-rentals and additional purchases to solve problems with spectrum and frequency availability. This year, at the 2007 Infocomm show, I discovered a new product that makes accessing the RF spectrum information by running real time frequency analysis affordable. [Read more…]

AaroniaUSA Analyzers the MVP of the Test and Measurement World

By

AaroniaUSA Analyzer “A Great Value… an Excellent Addition to Our Test Suite.”

“Superior Access Solutions (SAS) has found the Spectran HF-60100* to be a valuable addition to our RF analysis toolset. This small handheld spectrum analyzer is able to provide most of the measurements we typically need without the encumbrance of a full sized spectrum analyzer. With the USB connected to a computer we also have a great way to record and review the data at a later date.

SAS frequently uses the HF-60100 for troubleshooting existing RF systems. SAS has installed IP radios for several customers and we routinely provide maintenance for this equipment. One of the first tools we grab when going on these maintenance trips is the HF-60100. Due to its small size and self-contained power the HF-60100 has greatly simplified troubleshooting these IP radios. The towers are 300 feet tall, and often the tower climber is not an RF engineer. The HF-60100 is simple enough to use, and portable enough that we can give the analyzer to a tower climber and have an engineer on the ground walk the climber through the relevant measurements. Prior to purchasing an HF-60100 we would often have to bring equipment to the ground to troubleshoot. [Read more…]

What is a Log Periodic Antenna?

How do LP Antennas Work?

Log Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) antennas are directional, active broadband antennas that are the ideal solution for interference tracking, site surveying, and most general RF and EMC analysis applications, due to their unique dipole elements positioned along the antenna axis in a triangular shape. With many varieties and names (LP Antenna, LPDA, LP Array Antennas, and Log Periodic Aerial) and minor functionality and design variations amongst each type, these antennas are designed with optimization in specific frequency ranges, and are capable of functioning within the high frequency – extremely high frequency ranges. Aaronia USA offers LP antennas starting as low as 380 MHz, and as high as 35 GHz to cover all potential RFI detection applications. [Read more…]
