Showing Results for Tektronix H500/SA2500

The H500/SA2500 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer Series will help you to easily scan, classify and locate signals of interest in the field environment. Scan the environment to discover spectrum events other analyzers will miss, when using the unique DPX® waveform image processor technology, which provides a live RF view of the spectrum. Classify signals of interest with the built-in, user-defined signal database. Locate signals quickly using the integrated GPS mapping solution.  The ruggedized design, with a hot swappable battery, is optimized to help you in the toughest of environments.
