Re: [WISPA] Spectrum Analyzer Recommendation?
Personally, I had terrible luck with my Spectran, but I am tired of explaining my story every time this subject comes up. Maybe my particular unit was a dud, but at any rate it was so inaccurate (as verified by a calibrated RF signal generator) that I had to replace it.

Re: [WISPA] Spectrum Analyzer Recommendation?
Hi Guys, I rented some gear from http://www.trs-rentelco.com/ about a year ago. These guys were a HUGE help in figuring out a problem that had come and gone for years (FM radio interference that was always worse in winter than summer). John called me a few days ago and said they had quite a bit of gear for sale. If you are looking for an analyzer you might want to touch base with him.

Re: [WISPA] Spectrum Analyzer Recommendation?
We've got an older HP (now agilent) spectrum analyzer that does up to 22ghz. Most people don't know how to use it. I had plenty of experience with O-scopes, and obtained a manual for it, so I'm comfortable with it. The average 25 year old geek would be lost after turning it on. We occasionally drag it out and use a directional antenna to locate a source of interference. Sees the cell phone, 900 paging, and some 900 unlicensed stuff real good. 5ghz is harder as the antennas are much more directional. For monitoring over a time period, Trango 900 SUs and Alvarion 900VL SUs are great at spectrum analysis too via the CLI, as is the Alvarion FH 900 with the spectrum analysis firmware and windows utility. For 5ghz, I'd recommend an Alvarion VL SU for the band you are testing.

Re: [WISPA] Spectrum Analyzer Recommendation?
During high school and college, I had a nice summer job repairing and final testing some expensive government electronics. It used skills I already had, rather than anything from college. The people involved in building what I tested and fixed didn't have any electronics education. They knew their resistor colors, knew diodes only went one way, and could read the labels on chips. They were holdovers from the declining minicomputer businesses, and they were one step away from being replaced by a wave soldering machine if the production volume were a little higher. When I was in college 93-95 at a reputable engineering school, I had an EE roommate and many friends in the department. They went from math to breadboards to FPGAs, imaginary logic circuits, and VLSI. Nothing as simple as actually building or repairing things; that's for hobby or lower end jobs. It doesn't make for star researchers or big business inventors. I studied computer science. You could graduate without actually opening a computer or assembling a network cable. You'd have to be able to program the computer with a variety of languages and a variety of methods and algorithms. You'd probably get a nice job managing a team of programmers or a serious software project after graduation. I dropped out and started an Internet business like many did during that era.

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analyzer
We've got one of our Avcom Rental units available for sale. We rent these for $100 per week. This has been used on and off for the past year and it's time to move it. It sells for $3K new, we need $1000 for the analyzer. We have a 5Ghz freq extender as well for $400, normally $800. Only thing needed is the 900MHz freq extender. So what we have will do the 1.7-2.7GHz band plus 5-6GHz (with extender) for $1400. Portable (not handheld) unit with large easy to read screen, markers, memory and peak hold functions plus more. More info at http://avcomofva.com/products/default.asp?page=psa1727b.

Re: [WISPA] Spectrum Analyzer
The order has already been placed for these units and they should be arriving in the states shortly. I believe John ordered a few extras so if anyone wanted to get one who missed out on the GP they still can. I think he ordered 6080s with the memory expansion. I'm looking forward to trying mine out.

I really never got the chance to evaluate, but may be interested in a group order also. Please keep me in the loop as to the cost and when/where we should place our order. It may actually be cheaper for me to just purchase a replacement instead of paying for the repair.

Re: [WISPA] Spectrum Analyzer
Cliff, Your willingness to help the WISP community by evaluating two of these units will (I'm sure) be appreciated. :) Reviewer's Note: LCD screen easy to break. We'll stay tuned for your report on how the unit actually works. Some key features that I look for in a spectrum analyzer are: 1. Sensitivity - should go down far enough below the threshold of your equipment to determine if noise is lurking within 10 dB or 15 dB below the threshold. 2. Ability to save results as an easily-viewed file. For example, it's nice to save sample data as a jpg. 3. Peak-hold feature is an absolute requirement. 4. External antenna jack needed for (hopefully obvious) use with a directional antenna. 5. Lightweight is nice. 6. An internal attenuator is nice. Overload a spectrum analyzer and you blow it out (Ouch - Another opportunity for permanent storage in the German Customs Department). 7. A built-in battery is nice. 8. It should be WiMAX-ready, mesh-capable, and MIMO-enabled, with dual-polarity, tree-penetrating power. 9. The ability to watch television on it while driving cross-country at 100 MPH is an absolute necessity. So is a turn-by-turn voice-navigation feature. And, oh yeah, it should also download music, have a built-in high-resolution digital camera, and a multiband, multimode cellphone. Without all of these feature, what good is it really??? 10.

RE: [WISPA] Spectrum Analyzer
Hi Chuck, Never had to purchase a spectrum analyzer before but as we are now getting to the stage where one would come in handy I'm just beginning to look into what's available. I've noticed the HP 8569A specs say it only goes up to 1.5GHz? How do you use this with 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz? Is it the norm to get some form of converter?

If I remember correctly from my SA repair and sales days, only the extremely old HP 8569A's went to 1.5Ghz. You can get external mixers to go up 40Ghz, but hardly relevant to WISP's. After a certain revision(which you can hardly find the older ones) included an internal mixer to go to about 1.5Ghz.

Re: [WISPA] Spectrum Analyzer
EC carries a nice little unit from Anritsu (sp?). Portable, battery operated, easy to use. You'll need a converter to get the 2.4 gig version to work for 5.8 gig but that's not a big deal.

RE: [WISPA] Spectrum Analyzer
You can buy Canopy units and use the spectrum analyzer feature. That has the drawback of the directivity of the antenna pattern but it's also able to be run remotely. Install it with a TV antenna rotor and control all of it from the ground from a laptop. For use in the unlicensed spectrum this is a cheap way to have a spectrum analyzer that does what you need. I think you might also be able to do the same thing with Trango gear.
