Bird Announces New SignalHawk Handheld Spectrum Analyzer

Solon, Ohio --- Bird, leading RF provider and technology leader, expands it’s highly sought-after SignalHawk family of rugged, handheld spectrum analyzer products with the addition the SH-60S-AOA Angle of Arrival spectrum analyzer and the SH-60S-TC, offering a balance of price and performance up to a frequency range of 6 GHz.  The new SignalHawk SH-60S-TC and SH-60S-AOA provide test coverage for all major wireless systems in an easy-to-use, fully portable test instrument.  Building off the flexible software architecture & highly integrated, small-form-factor packaging of our SignalHawk & SiteHawk platforms, these test instruments offer the ruggedness, customization and ease-of-use you expect from Bird.

A natural integration of digital maps, GPS location and signal strength vectoring, the SignalHawk – AOA provides an easy-to-use interface to not only pinpoint potential in-band interferers and “rouge” or “pirate” broadcast locations, but also perform coverage mapping and “dead spot” identification.  When paired with an appropriate directional antenna, the small form-factor and extended run-time of the SignalHawk AOA allows it to be taken to all types of remote or “off-grid” locations even ATV or foot only situations to accurately pinpoint signal origination, said -Joel Meltzer, Agile Engineering Manager. Leveraging multi-touch technology, the user can change reference level and center of frequency with a touch of a finger and zoom and span just like your smart phone. Multi-task measurements are made easy with the ability to simultaneously review several windows for comparison. Need data, no problem, with 8G of internal storage you can screenshot data and transfer then via USB/OTG/WIFI/Bluetooth to the cloud and email or upload PC for reference. Bird’s New Handheld Spectrum Analyzer family saves time, provides high precision and accuracy with ease of use. A must have for and technician, service provider, contractors, field engineers or military personnel.

SH-60S-TC, RF Analyzer view RF signals between 9 kHz and 6 GHz. Combines best in class functionality and easy-to-use, intuitive menus and predefined measurements. Higher frequency coverage and spectrogram (waterfall) display. Additional built in functions include: FM demodulation, GNSS Signal Quality, Field Strength and Spectrum masking.  

SH-60S-AOA, RF Analyzer extends the capability of the SH-60S-TC by adding the ability to triangulate the location of an interferer on a map for signals between 9 kHz and 6 GHz. Triangulation is pivotal move in spectrum analyzers by allowing the user to utilize our Interference analysis and triangular functionality to locate the source within 3 measurements, forming a triangle in the area of the emitter and utilizing a built-in map to find the exact location of the problem.

For a limited time, we are offering you to try one of Bird's NEW 6 GHz SH-60S spectrum analyzers for free with the “Try Then Buy” program that allows an opportunity for hands on use.  Click here for program details.
