Boonton has introduced its 9103 handheld spectrum analyzer that operates at frequencies up to 7.5 GHz. The instrument supports many microwave applications, featuring the typical measurements of standard desktop spectrum analyzers such as channel power, occupied bandwidth and adjacent-channel power ratio. Additional measurements such as tracking generator-based cable measurements, distance-to-fault, VSWR, and rms detector, radiation emission and RF pollution are available as options.

The Boonton 9103 handheld spectrum analyzer combines the high-frequency range and the versatility of a professional desktop analyzer with the portability of a handheld multimeter. It meets outdoor requirements of technicians to read the display — even in bright daylight.

Applications for the 9103 handheld spectrum analyzer include aviation signals, directional radio, VSAT (very small aperture terminal), and signals in the 5 GHz unlicensed band, such as Wireless LAN (WLAN) and WiMAX. RFID signals are best analyzed in the zero-span mode provided by the spectrum analyzer. Boonton's 9103 supports a wide range of applications with accessories for cable fault finding, EMC and radiation measurements.
