Thanks to its high sensitivity and low phase noise performance, even small interfering signals next to the carrier can be analyzed.

The preamplifier (R&S® FPL1-B22 option) extends the sensitivity level.

The 1 dB attenuator step size (R&S® FPL1-B25 option) allows you to perform measurements at the instrument’s max.

The solid RF performance makes the R&S® FPL1000 the ideal instrument for use in the lab, production and service. It supports not only spectrum analysis, but also highly accurate power measurement with power sensors and analysis of analog and digitally modulated signals. It is a single measuring instrument for a variety of measurement tasks. Most interference will occur in the 2.4 GHz radio band.įor more information about Spectrum analysis and ARM technology, including a list of APs that support spectrum analysis refer to the ArubaOS User Guide at /support/manuals.In an RF lab, the R&S® FPL1000 is as indispensable as an oscilloscope or multimeter. By default, an 802.11a radio profile references a spectrum profile named default-a (which configures the radio to monitor the upper channels of the 5 GHz radio band), and an 802.11g radio profile references a spectrum profile named default-g (which configures the radio to monitor all channels the 2.4 GHz radio band). Individual APs or groups of APs can be converted to dedicated spectrum monitors through the dot11a and dot11g radio profiles of that AP or AP group, or through a special spectrum override profile.Įach 802.11a and 802.11g radio profile references a spectrum profile, which identifies the spectrum band the radio will monitor and analyze, and defines the default ageout times for each monitored device type. While the spectrum analyzer identifies and classifies Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources of interference, ARM automatically ensures that APs serving clients will stay clear of interference. The spectrum analyzer is used in conjunction with Aruba's Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology.

The spectrum analysis software modules available on many Aruba APs can examine the radio frequency (RF) environment in which the Wi-Fi network is operating, identify interference and classify its sources.
