R&S Spectrum Rider Handheld Spectrum Analyzer
At a glance
The R&S Spectrum Rider is a versatile, user-friendly instrument in a rugged and appealing design. The frequency range of the basic analyzer is 5 kHz to 2 GHz. The upper frequency limit can easily be extended to 3 GHz or 4 GHz via keycode.
The small form factor does not limit the performance and capabilities of the R&S Spectrum Rider. Thanks to its solid RF performance, its short boot time and its ease of use, the R&S Spectrum Rider is the perfect instrument for spec- trum measurements in the lab or in service applications. The state-of-the-art touchscreen allows operation using smartphone-like touch gestures. An on-screen keyboard and many other functions make the life of the user easier.
