Atec Narda-IDA-3106 - Manual (Page 3)

OPERATING MODES
Detecting, classifying and localizing emissions successfully greatly
depends on result visualization. IDA-3106 meets this requirement,
thanks to its various operating modes and impressive presentation of
measurement results. The following operating modes are available:
Spectrum view for detection purposes
SPECTRUM
DIRECTION
FINDING
MULTI CHANNEL POWER
LEVEL
METER
SCOPE and IQ Demodulation (option)
Spectrum
Spectrum mode provides extremely fast scans across the entire
frequency range, ideal for detecting, monitoring and analyzing all
kinds of signals. A full 6 GHz spectrum scan is performed in less
than 500 ms, even for high-resolution results (RBW = 500 kHz, 250
kHz marker resolution).
Spectrum view for initial classification of signals
The extremely low noise level down to -30 dBµV/m in conjunction
with Narda Directional Antennas allows the detection even of very
low-power devices.
Resolution bandwidths range from 10 Hz to 20 MHz to match any
modern communications equipment or even of pulsed signals.
Maximum (Max), average value (Avg) and minimum (Min) traces
allow initial classification of the nature of a signal.
Suspect signals can be isolated using convenient marker functions,
can be quickly zoomed in on and directly transferred to the other
operating modes for in-depth analysis.
SPECTROGRAM (Waterfall) view is ideal for long-term surveillance
of the RF spectrum and identification of permanent, transient and
frequency-hopping signals. This view also allows identification of
emitters with varying power and/or varying bandwidths.
Spectrum and Spectrogram view for transient detection
An outstanding feature is the capability of simultaneously recording
RMS, +Peak and -Peak traces of the spectrogram.
The large 7-inch color display presents the results as
a spectrum,
a spectrogram,
a spectrum and spectrogram,
or as a table of highest peaks
