Saelig Company Inc. has introduced the Owon HSA10000 handheld radiofrequency (RF) spectrum analyzers, which cover a frequency range of 9 kHz to 1.6/3.6 GHz with 1 Hz resolution. The HSA1000 series has a very low -160 dBm displayed average noise level (DANL), which allows accurate low-noise measurements of even very weak signals. An optional tracking generator can sweep over the frequency range of 100 kHz to 3.6 GHz. An electromagnetic interference (EMI) pre-compliance test function with an EMI filter (6 dB) and peak detector is built-in, which allows for convenient EMI pre-testing and diagnosis. Complete results are available using the supporting software provided. More than 200 electromagnetic compatibility test standards and regulations are included. The 8 inch LCD touchscreen wide-angle display features a built-in light sensor for automatic brightness adjustment to ambient environments, enabling operation even in full sunlight.

The HSA1000 series of spectrum analyzers offers a pass/fail function for quickly assessing whether signal test results meet previously established criteria. Tasks that can be accomplished with the HSA1000 series include standard modulation signal quality analysis, audio demodulation, field strength measurements, channel measurements and frequency counting. Waterfall plots show the behavior of varying signal parameters (such as intermittent signals) over time. An external GPS antenna allows measurements to also be time/location identified.
