Saelig Introduces 6GHz Handheld RF Spectrum Analyzers – versatile, easy-use, touch-screen RF tools with long battery life offer spectrum analysis in the palm of your hand.

Fairport, NY, USA: Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced two new RF analyzers – the new AIM-TTi Series 5 Models (saelig.com/MFR00082/M00082003.htm) – available in 3.6GHz and 6.0GHz versions. They maintain a true handheld format while offering bench-top instrument-quality features. The PSA3605 and PSA6005 weigh just 560 grams and are small enough to fit comfortably into the hand and provide more than 3 hours of operation from each charge of the built-in lithium-ion battery. Despite their compact dimensions, these analyzers incorporate a large high resolution color TFT display with touch screen control. The Series 5 is all-digital from the second IF onwards. This enables it to offer a full range of RBW/VBW (resolution bandwidths/video bandwidth) settings, multiple detector modes, and advanced features such as waveform demodulation and automatic measurements. The large 4.3” TFT color touch-screen provides a high resolution display, and an intuitive menu system that makes set-up fast and easy.

The PSA Series 5 is physically similar to the highly successful PSA Series II, with a case that includes rubberized buffers for shock protection and a built-in screen protector for field use. It employs the same advanced filing system with USB interfaces for external flash drives and direct PC connection, and its digital processing features provide it with a full range of resolution bandwidths from 300Hz up to 3MHz (1-3-10 sequence) and multiple detector modes. Signal demodulation for AM and FM extends to a time-domain display in addition to audio demodulation. Advanced functions inherited from the Series II include data logging for up to 25,000 results per file, and complex limit lines and patterns combined with a limits comparator.
The PSA Series II – the previous range of successful traditional super-heterodyne analyzers – used analog filters to define RBWs. With this approach, issues of cost and power were limitations on frequency range and functionality. The new PSA Series 5 uses advanced digital techniques to provide both higher frequency range and wider functionality. The Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL) noise figure is better than -160dBm/Hz and a minimum full scale reference level of -40dBm allows signals down to -120dBm to be seen. RBW and VBW are adjustable from 300Hz to 10MHz in 1:3:10 sequence. Multiple traces can be displayed in contrasting colors, and trace modes include peak hold and multi-sweep averaging. Large internal storage is provided for traces, setups and complete screen images. Connectivity is provided for USB flash drives and for direct USB connection to a PC. Internal storage extends to nearly 2GB, and the internal filing system supports user specified names and time stamping from a real-time clock. Additional features include automatic measurements of Channel Power (CP), Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) and Occupied Bandwidth (OBW), and waveform demodulation. The new PSA Series 5 Analyzers supplement the widely adopted PSA Series 2 which is available in 1.3GHz and 2.7GHz versions.

The PSA Series 5 offers RF service engineers and wireless product technicians a cost-effective and highly portable tool, placing a spectrum analyzer in areas that are difficult to access with bench top instruments. Bench-bound engineers will appreciate the low cost of PSA Series 5 RF Spectrum Analyzers, enabling them to justify the purchase of an RF spectrum analyzer for a wide range of tasks, while wireless audio technicians will benefit from instant displays of free audio WiFi channels or problematic interference. The compact, handheld PSA Series 5 RF Spectrum Analyzers weigh only 560 grams (20oz) and are just 9.2cm (3.6”) wide, making them suitable for any portable RF service kit.

Made by one of Europe’s leading test equipment manufacturers AIM-TTi, the PSA Series 5 offers exceptional value for the money and is available now from their USA distributor Saelig Company, Inc. Fairport, NY. For detailed specifications, free technical assistance, or additional information, please contact Saelig at 1-888-7SAELIG, via email: info@saelig.com, or visit www.saelig.com

Res-Net Microwave Inc.

Clearwater, FL —

Passive electronic components built for microwave & RF applications – it’s a narrow niche that’s increasingly active in commercial, military, and space applications. Television’s Manufacturing Marvels will soon shed some light on this business sector, and on Res-net Microwave, one of the very successful microwave component manufacturers in this sector. The two-minute profile will air on the Fox Business Network on May 8th between 9:30pm and 9:45pm Eastern Time.
For more than 25 years, Res-net Microwave, Inc. has manufactured microwave & RF components including attenuators, terminations, CVD diamond resistors, and diode detectors. As performance requirements have grown tougher, the frequency spectrum has continued to increase. Res-net operates at the leading edge of this continuing progression.
Manufacturing Marvels narrator John Criswell will describe and show some of Res-net’s special manufacturing capabilities and processes in its new ISO 9001 approved facility. It’s a first-ever look inside the new plant and a rare opportunity for viewers.
Res-net Microwave, Inc. is a subsidiary of Electro Technik Industries, Inc. For additional information, contact Res-net Microwave, Inc., PO Box 18802, Clearwater, FL 33762. Phone: 727-530-9555 Fax: 727-531-8215 Web: www.Res-netmicrowave.com.

Lighthorse Technologies is pleased to offer new RP-SMA connector designs for your RF Applications. The ROHS compliant RPSMA from LTI are in stock and ready to ship. They are available for PCB termination or to attach to a variety of custom coaxial cable assemblies. They are designed for wireless systems manufacturers complying with FCC 15 regulations.

The FCC enacted the regulations to prevent consumers from replacing stock antennas from manufacturers with antennas that provide higher gain. Non-standard coaxial connectors such as reverse polarity connectors were designed to comply with the regulations.

Reverse Polarity SMA connectors from Lighthorse Technologies, Inc. are reverse gender, meaning the jack(female) houses the contact pin and the plug(male) houses the receptacle. Reverse polarity SMA connectors are unmatable with standard coaxial connectors. Reverse polarity SMA connectors operate at 2.4/5.8 ghz frequencies at a constant 50 ohms of impedance. Typical applications for RPSMA connectors include Wi-Fi Systems.

With production in San Diego, CA, adjacent to what has been referred to as “telecom valley”, LTI remains poised to offer quick turn cable assemblies to meet the specifications of a demanding and rapidly growing global wireless revolution. Contact Lighthorse Technologies, Inc. for more information.

Lighthorse Technologies Inc. is pleased to announce new capabilities for grounding windows in coax cable assemblies. We can offer this on all cable sizes from 1.13 mm micro coax up to RG 58. Contact your Lighthorse representative to find out more.

New coax connectors have been added to our growing line of Hirose U.FL equivalent IPX series connectors. A surface mount jack is now available, p/n LTI-IPXSF66GT. This surface mount jack connector is designed to mate with our SMT plug, LTI-IPXSM66AL. These connectors mate seamlessly and are ideal for a variety of applications where space is critical with a mating height of 3.2mm. Please contact Lighthorse Technologies Inc for more information on our IPX series connectors.
