Shark alert! Hand-held analyser debuts at MWC

More and more devices have to share the available frequency ranges because of the rapid development in new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), machine to machine (M2M) or car to car (C2C) communications and expanding 4G/5G mobile networks.

Whether making a wideband measurement of an entire frequency range, or detecting hidden signals, or reliably capturing very short impulses, or localising interference signals, the SignalShark provides comprehensive measurement solutions for the increasingly complex RF spectrum.

The SignalShark was developed in conjunction with practical market analysis and targeted user surveys.

Its ability to make powerful real time measurements with a real time bandwidth of 40MHz in a handheld design will not only help accelerate the development of mobile technologies within the industry, it will also assist mobile service providers and authorities to ensure interference free networks and support regulators in providing protection from illegal transmitters and hidden signals.

The modern user interface of the SignalShark combines with its 10.4in touch screen to give intuitive operation of the large number of measurement and analysis functions.

It can be adapted in advance to the measurement tasks and users needs, facilitating clear, effective and reliable measurements for both beginners and experts alike. The SignalShark covers a frequency range stretching from 9kHz up to 8GHz.

The two Li-ion batteries can be hot swapped during operation, making it possible to operate the device for long periods in mobile applications.

The robust design conforms to MIL standards, enabling the SignalShark to make reliable measurements even under difficult environmental conditions, delivering precise results.
