Using Anritsu's Handheld InterferenceHunter MA2700A For Signal Location

When attempting to find signals, RF engineers will typically use a spectrum analyzer, a directional antenna, a compass, and a map to find directional bearings to the signal, and then use triangulation and successive approximation to find the signals. This process is very time-consuming and requires a considerable amount of RF, mapping, and compass skills. The Handheld InterferenceHunter MA2700A is a tool from Anritsu designed to make signal location simpler and faster via direction finding. This application note provides an overview of the use of the MA2700A, and walks through how to select the proper antenna, generate a map, and locate a source without a map.
