Radio Spectrum Analysis with BumbleBee
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 04:00 PM
"BumbleBee™ is a precision calibrated spectrum analyzer that interfaces with HP’s iPAQ® PocketPC®. The handheld receiver measures 4 distinct wireless bands: 900 MHz, 2.4-2.5 GHz, 5.1-5.5 GHz & 5.5-5.9 GHz. Bumble Bee™ allows the user to capture, display and record each of these bands for network installation, coverage and interference analysis. The iPAQ’s touch screen allows field engineers to tap on points of interest in the waveform and “zoom” in for further analysis...Bumble Bee™ allows for on-the-fly switching of bands for realtime spectral analysis of many wireless standards including RFID, 802.11(b,a,g & Bluetooth) and cordless phones/video. Bumble Bee™ does the job of multiple wireless test instruments all in the palm of your hand."
It physically looks like a school science project gone awry, but if you're in the business of analyzing radio frequencies, this looks like a great tool. No pricing information though - you need to email them for a quote.
