SKU: RF-Explorer-ISM-Combo-Plus-Slim RF Explorer ISM Combo + Slim 50Hz-960MHz 2.35-2.55GHz

RF Explorer ISM Combo + Slim with 50Hz-960MHz and 2.35-2.55GHz Frequency Bands

RF Explorer ISM COMBO+ is a powerful, high performance digital spectrum analyzer covering the 1GHz frequency range starting at 50KHz, and 2.35GHZ to 2.55GHz for scanning the popular 2.4GHz band.

The new SLIM design offers an outstanding robust enclosure, a more convenient USB connector on the side and larger internal battery capacity.

Compared to the baseline ISM COMBO model, the new PLUS includes a higher frequency range in the sub-1GHz band, more sensitivity and higher RF Generator power output in the 2.4GHz band.

RF Explorer ISM Combo Plus Slim - note actual product might look slightly different depending on the exact version.

• Some of these features require latest firmware upgrade, please upgrade your unit from www.rf-explorer.com/download page.
• Models with two connected modules includes two RF SMA connectors. In such case, some differences may apply when comparing left or right SMA connector. This table above include clear details on which is applicable to each connector.
• (*) This feature or range extension is available with an Expansion Module installed, such as RFEMWSUBxG or RFEM2.4G.
• (**) Note some frequency ranges may have a more limited, lower measurable range. Please contact us for more details on a particular frequency range if you need to measure input power close to -10dBm. In all cases, using a 20 or 30dB attenuator is suggested in order to lower the input power to a -30 or -40dBm range, as it will exhibit better behavior by limiting spurious and signal overload. If you use an attenuator, you also improve the VSWR of the measurement and can be adjusted in OffsetDBparameter of RF Explorer ATTENUATOR MENU in order to read the exact value on screen, saving you from doing any math.
• (i) The Expansion Module is already installed in this RF Explorer Model and therefore there is no room for additional expansion.

Part List

• 1 x Spectrum Analyzer
• 1 x Mini USB cable
• 1 x Dual band 144/430MHz Telescopic antenna
• 1 x UHF 400-900Mhz antenna
• 1 x 2.4GHz whip antenna
• 1 x EVA case

Note:

RF Explorer is a very sensitive spectrum analyzer, specially designed to detect signals with aerial antenna. For extra protection when connecting the analyzer to a signal source with a coaxial cable, we suggest using a RF Explorer Power Limiter.
