Dynamic Signal Strength Meter 1C (16GHz)

Order Code DSSM1C

The DSSM1C is a high dynamic range, ultra wideband RF signal detector capable of detecting signals, even if their duration is only a few microseconds.

Since modern RF devices often transmit very short duration pulses, their signal can easily be missed by a traditional spectrum analyser or analogue signal strength meter. Whereas, the fast response of the DSSM1C allows it to detect almost any RF signal from 3MHz to 16GHz irrespective of its nature.

As well as the DSSM1C's ability to detect short RF pulses, its scrolling time-domain display reveals superimposed signals that would otherwise be invisible to a spectrum analyser or traditional signal strength meter.

The equipment also includes an audio output (Variable Tone or AM Demodulation with Squelch function and adjustable volume), digital sensitivity adjustment and illuminated display for improved usability.

To summarise, the DSSM1C is an instrument that can discriminate between different signals, even when they occupy the same frequency band, including modern Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems such as Wi-Fi, GSM, DECT and Bluetooth etc.
