Saelig Company has introduced the Harogic SA Series Real-time Spectrum Analyzers, with operating ranges of 9 kHz – 20 GHz (SAE-200) and 9 kHz – 40 GHz (SAN-400). The SA series receiver/spectrum analyzer modules are based on superheterodyne digital IF architecture, equipped with USB 3.0 interface and high-speed FPGA digital signal processing, providing good performance in a compact size. They are optimized for applications such as receivers, spectrum monitoring, and RF testing, offering multiple outputs, including spectrum, digital I/Q stream, power detection waveform (zero sweep bandwidth), and real-time spectrum. The volume, weight, and power consumption of these devices are ideal for field or embedded applications.
The SAN-400 uses a direct sampling channel below 88 MHz, and a superheterodyne mixing channel from 88 MHz to 40 GHz. Typical image suppression and IF rejection of better than 75 dBc; SAN-400 provides additional image suppression by turning on the spurious suppression algorithm in standard spectrum sweep mode (not valid in other analysis modes).
The SAN-400 provides a particularly flexible solution for receivers, spectrum monitoring and convenient RF testing. The device weighs only 6.5 oz – less than a mobile phone - realizing the complete functionality of a superheterodyne receiver and spectrum analyzer system in a very compact size. The module has a highly integrated superheterodyne receiver RF front-end built-in with performance, as well as a back-end FPGA-based digital processing system to accelerate relevant digital signal processing. FPGA-based digital signal processing effectively reduces the performance requirements of the device on the back-end processor. Even on low-power x86 or ARM processor platforms with limited performance, the SAN-400 can still be deployed to achieve excellent measurement results, working on Linux or Windows operating systems. This spectrum analyzer weighs roughly 6.5oz and measures 4.9” x 2.4” x 0.7”. It has a power consumption of 10-14 W.
The SAE-200 is a Compact USB Real-time Spectrum Analyzer that operates from 9 kHz to 20 GHz. It is based on the superheterodyne architecture and has an analysis bandwidth of 100 MHz with a sweep speed of 1.2 THz/s. This spectrum analyzer provides over 60 dB of image suppression, over 90 dB of IF rejection, and SSB phase noise of -131 dBc/Hz (at 10 MHz offset). It is powered by a USB-C port and is compatible with ARM and x86 processors, Linux, and Windows operating systems. The analyzer measures 5.5” x 2.7” x 0.8”.
