The R&S®PR200 portable monitoring receiver with up to 40 MHz real-time bandwidth covers the frequency range from 8 kHz to 8 GHz. This range can be extended up to...

Apart from the polychrome spectrum display and fast spectral overviews with scan speeds of up to 47 GHz/s, the R&S®PR200 features analog demodulation and versatile signal measurements, including level measurements, field strength measurements and ITU-compliant modulation parameter measurements. The R&S®PR200 also provides time domain analysis with simultaneous signal representation in the frequency and time domains. The gated spectrum application can even uncover hard-to-detect interference signals by computing the real-time spectrum only within an adjustable time gate when matched to particular...

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Spectrum monitoring in the field Spectrum monitoring helps detect and locate unknown interference signals, verify compliance with licenses, regulations and communications standards and facilitates network management. The R&S®PR200 is designed to perform these tasks during mobile operation in both indoor and outdoor environments. The wideband operation with gapless 40 MHz real-time processing, various spectrum scan modes and pow rful measurement toolset include ing polychrome spectrum, time domain analysis, direction finding and ITU-compliant measurements enable efficient...

HIGH-PERFORMANCE MONITORING WITH FAST SPECTRAL SCANS Monitoring and direction finding over wide frequency ranges Efficient and intuitive spectrum monitoring The R&S®PR200 has a 40 MHz real-time bandwidth and covers the monitoring frequency range from 8 kHz to 8 GHz, which can be extended up to 20 GHz with the R&S®HE400DC SHF directional handheld antenna with integrated downconverter. When upgraded with the R&S®CS-DF option, the R&S®PR200 can perform angle of arrival (AoA) direction finding from 20 MHz to 6 GHz. The R&S®PR200 provides a quick spectral overview with its well-organized spectrum...

SEPARATE SPECTRUM AND DEMODULATION PATHS Two digital receive paths for individual tasks Detection and monitoring in real-time The R&S®PR200 features two parallel digital receive paths with up to 40 MHz bandwidth each. The real-time spectrum path enables fast detection and maximum scan speed, while the demodulation and measurement path enables accurate and intuitive measurements of signal parameters. This digital signal processing architecture enables many tasks such as spectral measurements and demodulation or time domain analysis to be performed simultaneously. The R&S®PR200 provides operation...

MANUAL DIRECTION FINDING Manual homing direction finding Triangulation based on manual DF results With the R&S®PR200 connected to the R&S®HE400 handheld directional antenna, continuous unwanted emissions up to 8 GHz can be detected and manually located based on the received signal level in indoor and outdoor operation. The R&S®HE400DC SHF directional antenna with an integrated downconverter can be used for interference hunting up to 20 GHz. The built-in tone function also emits a tone with a varying pitch or pulse rate representing the received signal level that is then transmitted to the built-in...

AUTOMATIC DIRECTION FINDING AND RADIOLOCATION Accurate AoA direction finding Radiolocation of emitters from a moving vehicle The R&S®CS-DF direction finding option and the connected R&S®ADDx07 compact DF antennas upgrade the R&S®PR200 to a portable and easy-to-operate angle-ofarrival (AoA) based direction finder to obtain fast and highly accurate DF results in the range from 20 MHz to 6 GHz. Depending on the correlative interferometer method and the selected DF antennas and frequency bands, the R&S®PR200-based DF system can offer a typical system DF accuracy of 1° to 3° (RMS). Whether operated...

COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL MEASUREMENTS Level and field strength measurements Polychrome spectrum to distinguish superimposed signals The R&S®PR200 features simultaneous level measurements of up to three detectors with peak indicators. When equipped with the R&S®CS-FS field strength measurement option and paired with the R&S®HE400 handheld antenna, the R&S®PR200 performs field strength measurements in line with ITU-R SM.378-7. The connected R&S®HE400xx antenna module is automatically recognized and the prestored antenna factors in the R&S®PR200 are applied to convert the received signal level to field...

ADVANCED TIME DOMAIN ANALYSIS Measurements in the frequency and time domain Time gated spectrum measurements The R&S®CS-ZS time domain measurement option provides simultaneous signal representation in the frequency and time domain with up to 40 MHz real-time bandwidth. Thanks to various trigger and measurement functions, the time-dependent behavior of pulsed or burst signals can be evaluated while accounting for the spectrum. This is especially useful when analyzing the transmission modes or time slot occupancy in time division duplex (TDD) networks such as 5G-TDD and LTE-TDD or time division...

RECORDING AND DOCUMENTATION History mode and history buffer export Coverage measurements with digital maps If a signal is missed during observation, users can activate the history mode with the play & pause but on to review t the signal in the spectrum. The R&S®PR200 history memory buffer can store minutes of recordings and has a time resolution of up to 100 μs per line in the waterfall display. The history buf er can be exported to the internal memory, f a USB stick or an SD card. In addition to map display and triangulation, the R &S®CS-MAP mapping option enables easy level mapping, which is...
