Narda Safety Test Solutions NRA-3000/NRA-6000 spectrum analyser range

Narda Safety Test Solutions has added a scope option to its NRA range of remote spectrum analysers. This records the signal level continuously versus time and also makes the I/Q data available. A variant with LNB Control is also available which can be used to switch the low noise block converters (LNB) of satellite receiving antennas to the desired frequency range (low band/high band) and the appropriate polarisation (horizontal/vertical).

The NRA-3000 and NRA-6000 analysers can continuously record signal characteristics versus time with the new ‘scope and I/Q data’ option. The frequency resolution (RBW) can be set between 100 Hz and 32 MHz. The time resolution can be set down to 31.25 ns. The analysers also output ‘online’ the raw data separated into its real (in-phase) and imaginary (quadrature) components.

The NRA-3000 LNB Control variant generates all the usual control voltages for switching the LNB to low band or high band and horizontal or vertical polarisation. These voltages can be increased if necessary to compensate for cable losses. Remote operation of the LNB Control is integrated into the standard command set of the analyser.
