Key Radio Parameters for Spectrum Monitoring Receivers

Radio receivers for Spectrum Monitoring are at the heart of spectrum management operations.Therefore, key radio parameters of the receiver, and why they are important, need to be clearly understood along with minimum recommended values. This allows spectrum managers to specify and select the best radio receiver for a professional spectrum monitoring solution.

For any RF measurement, the success of the spectrum monitoring mission will rest on how well the receiver performs. This White Paper discusses the most critical receiver parameters, why they are important, and gives guidelines for minimum performance.
