H600 RFHawk Signal Hunter
RFHawk OverviewThe importance of quickly tracking down signals that may be used for disruptive, illegal purposes has grown significantly in recent years. Finding and physically locating RF emitters that are misusing the radio spectrum can be a challenging process, especially when risk mitigation and time to response are critical.
The Tektronix H600 RFHawk enables to quickly scan the RF environment, classify the known signals and easily locate the unknown signals. It is a handheld, rugged, battery operated RF signal hunter with an intuitive set of field signal hunter tools that are matched to the task. It allows for quick scanning of the RF environment, simple, reliable classification of legitimate signals for exclusion and gives field-proven signal hunting, mapping and documentation tools. The RFHawk has surveillance grade hardware featuring an outstanding noise figure and sophisticated tools necessary to rapidly scan, classify and locate illegitimate analog and digital RF transmission sources in the field.
- Scan
The RFHawk Spectrum Analyzer offers a user interface designed for field conditions And unreached performance in a battery-operated field unit with an input Frequency Range from 10kHz to 6.2GHz to cover most modern signal sources. It comprises an unsurpassed ability to detect very low level signals with -153dBm DANL at 10 Hz RBW.
- Classify
RFHawk matches signals to known standards using frequency, bandwidth and other criteria. An Expert-system help with on-screen profile masks for quick frequency offset estimations is included and makes it easy to upgrade the databases if applicable. RFHawk also examines a cyclo-stationary make-up of a given signal to look for specific cyclic components.
- Locate
RFHawk hunts outdoor signals by plotting measurements directly into GPS-integrated geo-referenced maps. In-building signals can be entered with a Tap-and-Walk-and-Tap interface. There is no need to return to the office for analysis of difficult problems anymore.
