Software features
LTE analysis mode
-
Monitor and scan for LTE downlink signals. Monitor a single frequency or define LTE frequency bands to scan. The software quickly scans and displays cell information such as Cell ID, RSSI, RSRP, RSRQ, MCC/MNC, EARFCN, and SIB1 contents. All scanned cells are tabulated and can be exported for external review. This information is shown alongside standard spectrum analysis plots.
802.11b/a/n/ac/ax WLAN modulation analysis
-
Spike includes specialized WLAN modulation analysis features, allowing for the making of physical (PHY) layer measurements on WLAN transmitting devices and providing RF metrics to accurately evaluate your signal performance and quality. You can demodulate your waveforms to see the header signal information and analyze modulation quality down to the bit level.
RF mapping for drive and walk test solutions
-
Spike provides affordable and simple RF mapping!
With Spike you can test network coverage and model wireless performance on outdoor installations and indoor DAS systems. GPS coordinate measurements display on imported maps, and you can export data as CSV or KML.
EMC Precompliance measurements
-
Using EMC precompliance testing in your hardware development process can help you avoid costly and time-consuming redesigns after EMC compliance testing failure. By leveraging our BB60C real-time spectrum analyzer and Spike, you have a powerful tool for making highly flexible EMC precompliance measurements. Spike’s EMC Analysis Mode allows for measurements like a standards-based EMC precompliance sweep with pass/fail limits and multi-sweep capability.
Spectrum emission mask measurements
-
Use the spectrum emission mask measurements to test transmission mask conformance. Use a number of built in standards or create your own.
Interference hunting
-
Working with RF in the wireless space can often be a headache as overlapping frequencies and signals interfere with the intended functionality of wireless products.
Spike’s included interference hunting mode allows you to visualize interfering signals for analysis and troubleshooting purposes.
