SignalShark – Speed is(n’t) magic

SignalShark – Speed is(n’t) magic

If you swap a traditional analogue spectrum analyzer for a SignalShark receiver, you’ll certainly notice the difference!

Fast, faster, SignalShark.

To make sure that you can use this magical speed to its full potential without needing to be a wizard, Narda has conjured up a new Application Note.

This not only describes the relationship between the good old sweep time (SWT) of an analog spectrum analyzer and the measurement time of a thoroughbred real time device like the SignalShark (there isn’t one); it also describes how you can search for interference in the uplink timeslot of a 4G or 5G TDD system without fuss or the need for large scale options (or magic, either).
