USB-SA44B Spectrum Analyzer

USB-SA44B Spectrum Analyzer 1.Phase noise, harmonics, and modulation measurement 2.Automated test capabilities using API.

The Signal Hound USB-SA44B is a USB-based, 1Hz to 4.4GHz, economy spectrum analyzer and measuring receiver. Using recent innovations in RF technology,the Signal Hound has the sensitivity, accuracy and dynamic range you’d expect in a unit many times its cost. The Signal Hound is powered from the USB cable, eliminating the need for a separate power supply.Measuring less than 8 inches long and weighing only 10 ounces, the Signal Hound can be used virtually anywhere!The Signal Hound® graphical user interface, or GUI, is used to communicate with the Signal Hound, sending commands and receiving data over the USB. The user sends commands using the control panel and menu. The data is streamed back to the PC over the USB and displayed on the graticule as a signal trace. For precision measurements, markers may be used as well. 

The perfect tool for general lab use, electronic engineering students, ham radio enthusiasts,and electronic hobbyists alike.Phase noise, harmonics, and modulation measurement utilities included.Automated test capabilities using API.Standard operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and optional extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
