SKU: RF-Explorer-WiFi-Combo RF Explorer Wifi Combo Spectrum Analyser

RF Explorer WiFi Combo Spectrum Analyser with 2350-2550 MHz (2.4G) and 4850-6100 MHz (5G) Frequency Range

RF Explorer is a hand-held digital spectrum analyser, a very affordable tool for work in all popular Wifi bands. It is based on a highly integrated frequency synthesizer and double balanced mixer which offers high performance, compact size, low consumption and low cost. It has been designed to be used equally well outdoor and indoor, and can be connected to a PC for extra functionality using standard mini-USB 2.0 connector.

This model includes a 6G baseline unit plus an RFEM24G Expansion Module conveniently assembled and tested. It comes with two SMA connectors and two antennas: a rubber duck 5.8 GHz and a whip helical for 2.4 GHz band. Additional, specific band antennas may be needed to cover efficiently some of the frequencies supported. The combination of these two models offer coverage for most used communication frequency range used in modern communication technologies including WiFi 2.4 and 5 Gig ranges, Bluetooth, Wireless Audio and Video, 5GHz ISM, etc.

Notes:

• 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.
• (**) 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 behaviour 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.
