Narda launches two NRA RX RF analysers
Narda Safety Test Solutions has launched two new RX models of its NRA series of rack-mount RF analysers, specifically for spectrum-monitoring applications.
According to the company, the new models are ideal for short-term and long-term observation of pulse, sporadic and other types of RF signals. They can be used by military intelligence as well as air traffic control operators and communication authorities.
The NRA-3000 RX and NRA-6000 RX analysers cover the 9kHz-3GHz and 9kHz -6GHz frequency bands respectively. Both models have a new RF module with low phase noise and intrinsic interference.
The RX models have a sweep rate of 12GHz/s, a maximum channel bandwidth of 32MHz and up to 600,000 sampling points per sweep. They include an Ethernet 100BASE-TX interface, a 10MHz reference input for synchronisation to the system frequency and an ASCII-based command set for remote control. A USB interface and 3.5mm audio socket are also included.
Users can select four operating modes: spectrum analysis mode with wideband FFT and channel monitoring, multi-channel power mode for rapid evaluation of up to 500 user-definable channels or frequency ranges, level metre mode for measurements at a specific frequency, and scope and I/Q data mode for high-resolution time-domain analysis.
