RF Explorer – Low-Cost, Handheld, RF Spectrum Analyzers

RF Explorer is the latest breakthrough device in low-cost, RF spectrum analysis. It operates both as a standalone, handheld RF spectrum analyzer and also interfaces with a PC running more sophisticated data analysis software. There are several models in the RF Explorer series of RF spectrum analyzers that span different frequency ranges -- from 50 KHz up to 6100 MHz. Don''t let the price fool you -- the performance of these small, affordable devices compares favorably to more expensive and bulky test equipment.

RF Explorer was developed by ARocholl and the RF Explorer team. Nuts About Nets is a software company that develops diagnostic tools for troubleshooting RF and wireless issues. Nuts About Nets supports the RF Explorer brand by developing PC-based software to enhance the functionality of the device.

An RF spectrum analyzer is the instrument of choice for detecting and identifying sources of RF interference and monitoring the health of a wireless system. An RF spectrum analyzer measures the raw RF energy of transmitted radio frequency signals and aids the user by providing a view into the local RF environment. This RF view can be used to help detect the presence of RF transmissions that are the source of interference. Armed with this information you can either attempt to track down and eliminate the source of RF interference or choose to re-configure your own wireless gear to operate in a different freqency range of the RF spectrum that is less prone to RF interference.
