Detecting Drones Using a Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer
8/31/2020Flying drones can be fun. For RC and photography enthusiasts, a drone is a source of entertainment, and with a camera attached, provides breathtaking birds-eye views. For commercial and first responder purposes, a drone can be a valuable asset for information and increase productivity. However, when a drone is operating where it shouldn’t, the potential ramifications can be catastrophic and costly. For these situations, organizations need real-time, accurate, simple to operate and cost-effective solutions for detecting drones flying in or near restricted airspace. In this application note, we’ll discuss the basics for detecting a drone with a Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer and how networking multiple Spectrum Analyzers together can create an automated drone detection system with 24/7 monitoring capabilities.
Measuring the channel power of a pulsed RF signal using a real-time spectrum analyzer
8/31/2020Learn how to properly measure the Channel Power of a pulsed RF signal using a real-time spectrum analyzer. By properly setting up the analysis settings, the channel power of the RF pulse, as well as the average transmitted power over time, can easily and quickly be accurately measured. The technique shown applies to all RSAs - this includes the RSA306A/B Series, RSA500/600 Series and the RSA5000/6000/7000 Series.
