The SignalHawk SH-60S-AOA combines real-time spectrum analysis with advanced interference hunting tools in a rugged, portable form factor. By using AOA technology along with GPS and digital maps (e.g., OpenStreetMap), the unit helps pinpoint the location of problematic RF sources — whether they’re unintended emissions, rogue transmitters, or sources of degradation in communications systems. Its intuitive touchscreen UI, multi-touch controls, and high-resolution display simplify field operation. The analyzer also supports predefined measurements commonly used in RF analysis, such as channel power, adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR), occupied bandwidth, phase noise, and more.
Frequency Range: 9 kHz to 6 GHz — broad coverage for most wireless communications and RF systems.
AOA Direction Finding: Built-in Angle-of-Arrival capability with GPS integration and map-based triangulation for interferer location.
Spectrum Displays: Trace view, spectrogram/waterfall view, or combined view for detailed signal characterization.
Predefined Measurements: Channel Power, ACPR, phase noise, field strength, occupied bandwidth (OBW), N dB down bandwidth, FM demodulation, GNSS signal quality (CNR loss), and spectrum masks/limit lines.
User Interface: Large 5.5 high-resolution touchscreen with multi-touch operation on an Android-based platform.
Portable Design: Rugged handheld enclosure with ~5 hours typical battery life on rechargeable Li-ion battery.
Connectivity: USB-C for data transfer and compatibility with the Bird RF Meter App and other Bird field sensors.
Interference hunting and localization in cellular, Wi-Fi, GNSS, and broadband networks.
Spectrum occupancy analysis and field diagnostics for service providers and contractors.
Verification and troubleshooting of RF system performance in urban, remote, and congested environments.
