A spectrum analyzer is an electronic instrument that is used to measure an optical waveform spectrum. The waveform can be the acoustic waveform and electrical waveform. Generally, spectrum analyzers are the sensitive receiver that works based on the principle named as super-heterodyne. The frequency signals are pre-selected and then this frequency is converted to DC level. This is a logarithmic scale that can be measured and displayed on the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). On the CRT, the strength of frequency can be seen on the x-axis and y-axis contains the strength of the signal. There are different types of spectrum analyzers which are used for different purposes. In this blog, we will discuss the C-band spectrum analyzer.
- C-band is specially designed for the electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies whose range is from 4.0 to 8.0 gigahertz (GHz).
- C-band spectrum analyzer is also used for many other purposes such as- GPS, satellite communication transmission (have 24 radio transponders spaced 20 MHz apart), CATV, cordless phones, radar systems, TV and Radio Broadcasting, and for Wi-Fi devices. They are used in almost everywhere in the electronic sector.
- Moreover, they are easy-to-use, having front panel interface. You can easily control it with a remote, so they are often named as Remote Control Monitoring via Ethernet.
- They are operated with the help of GUI (Guided User Interface). The GUI is a remote control software with which you can operate it.
- There are many options available in C-band analyzers such as-
- Extendable amplitude range
- Carrying case
- Option in which you can lower the frequency range in case of extended frequency coverage.
- It has LNB (Low Noise Block) power which is used to receive low-level microwave signal from the satellite. It amplifies the signal and then send it through the cable to the indoor receiver.
