Probabilistic spectrum of Wi-Fi and GSM signals, and selective direction finding of DECT signal
Features:
- Small weight and dimensions
- Antennas of ARC-A3A can be used both in active and passive mode
- Design of the handle and antenna elements enables detection of radio emission sources with vertical and horizontal polarization
- Handle is optimized for operation in the field conditions; weight of the handle with the antenna is 800 gram max., the center of gravity is located below the palm level thus enabling to work longer without getting tired
- Power supply from buit-in batteries, portable electro generator, external AC mains or vehicle on-board DC.
