The battery of the lightweight unit is said to last up to eight hours, claimed to make it the only instrument of its kind capable of working a full day without recharging. The R&S Spectrum Rider has been field-tested in line with MIL PRF 28800F Class 2 and comes with protected interfaces and ports.
The handheld spectrum analyser can be remotely controlled via USB and LAN. A built-in measurement wizard automates measurements, reducing measurement times and enabling even novice users and operators with little RF expertise to reliably carry out measurement tasks.
The instrument is claimed to support everyday measurement tasks in aerospace and defence, wireless communications and broadcasting, and at regulatory authorities.
