Willtek Communications expands hand-portable spectrum analyzer to 7.5 GHz

Ismaning (Germany) and Parsippany (NJ), 22 February 2007 – Willtek Communications today presented that its 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer can now operate at frequencies up to 7.5 GHz (gigahertz), supporting new applications in the microwave range. This new feature is an option to the 9102 which so far covered the range from 100 kHz to 4 GHz. The 9102 with the new frequency extension is immediately available

Says Matthias Weber, Director of Product Marketing at Willtek Communications: “The standard 9102 already is a top instrument in its class of hand-portable spectrum analyzers and the 7.5 GHz version has a superb price-performance ratio.” Weber explains: “The extraordinary frequency range and the large and bright display are the most important features of the 9102. As with the design of other Willtek instruments, we attached importance to the ease of use. Our aim it to support engineers and technicians with a user interface that lets them solve the task at hand, rather than posing new challenges with the operation of the instrument.”

Applications covered by the 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer with the 7.5 GHz frequency extension include aviation signals, directional radio, VSAT (very small aperture terminal), and signals in the 5 GHz unlicensed band, such as Wireless LAN (WLAN) and WiMAX. RFID signals are best analyzed in the zero-span mode provided by the spectrum analyzer. Willtek’s 9102 also supports a wide range of applications with accessories for cable fault finding, EMC and radiation measurements and fault finding in 3G mobile phones.

Most 9102 spectrum analyzers already in the field can even be retrofitted with the new frequency extension. Such an upgrade adds value and can significantly increase the lifetime of the 9102 as it expands the range of possible applications.

Willtek is constantly extending the range of applications with the 9102. In addition to the frequency extension, Willtek also introduces an insertion power sensor for broadband power measurements at up to 50 watt.

Coverage, EMC and radiation measurements can now be recorded with the exact position using the 9168 GPS Receiver Option, a computer mouse-like device that can be attached to the 9102.
