HAROGIC Technologies, a company that develops miniaturized, high-performance RF test instruments, has introduced the SAE-200, a USB-based real-time spectrum analyzer that operates from 9 kHz to 20 GHz with a 100 MHz bandwidth. It is an advanced RF instrument that meets the SWaP-C requirements - (S) Small Size, (W) Lightweight, weighs less than 200 g, (P) high-performance (P) and (C) Costs less than USD $10,000, offering an affordable test and measurement solution.
This instrument has a superheterodyne architecture and 19-segment pre-selected filters that ensure appreciable interference rejection, image rejection, and IF rejection. It is also equipped with an internal FPGA-based digital signal which is deployable on ARM and x86 processors platform.
This spectrum analyzer provides a sweep speed of 1.2 THz/s (RBW ≥ 300 kHz) and 1 GHz carrier SSB phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset.
HAROGIC provides the SAStudio4 software to control this analyzer. It is a free and constantly updated software that is compatible with all HAROGIC models. It contains four main working modes: standard spectrum sweep (SWP), IQ streaming (IQS), detection (DET), and real-time spectrum analysis (RTA). SAStudio4 has pre-built functions for phase noise, channel power, OBW, ACPB, I/Q streaming, pulse signal measurement, recording, and playback. Moreover, the software is compatible with Linux and Windows operating systems, offering customers different options to use in different environments.
HAROGIC also provides a free API for all end-users so that customers can develop applications according to their specific requirements. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of scenarios such as spectrum monitoring, embedded systems, RF testing systems, and more.
