Spectrum monitoring and direction finding in a compact format

The R&S®EM200 is a cost-efficient receiver and direction finder in a compact format. It detects, analyzes and demodulates RF signals from 8 kHz to 8 GHz and can be extended up to 20 GHz with the R&S®CS-MC20 microwave converter further up to 53 GHz via the R&S®CS-MC53 microwave converter. The receiver also supports direction finding with Rohde & Schwarz compact DF antennas from 9 MHz to 8 GHz. The small form factor allows easy integration and use in just a few steps. It comes with an easy-to-operate and ready-to-use graphical user interface.
