Spectrum Analyzer Page
The spectrum analyzer feature provides a useful pre-planning and troubleshooting tool. This feature is
only available on radios with firmware supporting the spectrum analyzer. Perform a spectrum analysis
after deployment and just before commissioning to maintain a record of the spectrum at the time of
deployment. Figure 45 shows the Spectrum Analyzer page.

While a professional spectrum analyzer provides higher levels of control and precision for pre-
planning, the Spectrum Analyzer page allows evaluation of the RF spectrum as seen at the radio’s RF
input port prior to deployment. This is useful for pre-planning the center frequency and occupied
bandwidth, and to determine polarization and antenna type and mounting locations.
For troubleshooting, enable the spectrum analyzer to scan the desired segment or full band of the
frequency range. Select the step size and set the remote radio transmitter ON or OFF. This allows
viewing of the clean spectrum without the remote transmitter on and a comparison of the remote
transmitter in the midst of other signals.
