The Argentinian regulatory authority, Comisión Nacional de Comunicaciones (CNC) has decided to start monitoring radio spectrum to detect unwanted interference in mobile networks. To do so, they have decided in favor of mobile monitoring and direction finding systems from Rohde & Schwarz.
The monitoring system ordered by the Argentinian regulatory authority consists of the R&S DDF007 portable direction finder and the associated R&S ADD107 compact Direction Finding antenna with integrated GPS. The order also includes software licenses for R&S MobileLocator.
The direction finder and monitoring receiver are contained in a single instrument - the compact size makes it ideal for in-vehicle and portable use. The direction finding antenna is equipped with a magnetic mount for quick and secure installation on any vehicle roof. Since the radio direction finder is battery operated, it can be used independent of a power source.
The system is easy to set up and use. It can be ready for use in any vehicle in a matter of minutes. The user friendly interface allows even less experienced users can operate it.
The MobileLocator software from R&S automatically detects and locates signals in the frequency range from 20 MHz to 6 GHz. It simplifies signal location, especially in urban environments with heavy multipath propagation. Probability heat maps help operators locate signal sources quickly and efficiently.
Rohde & Schwarz has been active in the spectrum monitoring field for decades. The company's system solutions meet all applicable requirements and recommendations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations (UN) specialized agency that regulates frequency use.
