Handheld receiver captures wideband RF signals
The R&S PR300 portable monitoring receiver provides 125 MHz of real-time bandwidth and a scanning speed of more than 500 GHz/s. It is designed for field-based spectrum monitoring, interference hunting, high-speed signal detection, and direction finding (DF) with a directional antenna in complex RF environments.
Covering 8 kHz to 8 GHz, the PR300 supports segmented panorama scanning, embedded spectrum analysis, and time-gated direction finding. The frequency range extends to 20 GHz or 33 GHz when used with the HE400DC or HE800-DC30 handheld directional antennas, respectively. With the ADDx07 series compact DF antenna, the system achieves direction-finding accuracy better than 1° from 9 MHz to 20 GHz.
Gapless capture and analysis of wideband communication signals support applications such as radio monitoring in accordance with ITU recommendations, QoS verification, and interference hunting in 5G and LTE networks. The PR300-ZS time-domain measurement option provides simultaneous time-domain data and a corresponding time-gated frequency spectrum, useful for analyzing burst, intermittent, and transient signals.
