The IDA is able to establish the direction of the radiation source, display its relative orientation on a polar diagram, and can calculate and display the position of the interference source from several relative measurements.
Convenient and practical, it optionally supports electronic maps to accurately display the radiation source's position on a map, just like conventional navigation systems. Position determination is based on the measuring instrument's GPS receiver and the antenna's electronic compass, which evaluates direction, elevation, and polarization. It features very lightweight antennas that can be positioned vertically or horizontally for different frequency ranges.
In addition to its intelligent address detection (SmartDF) functions, the IDA-3106 boasts remarkable technical features. It can display the spectral distribution almost instantaneously at a scan rate of 12 GHz/s. An optional function allows for the analysis of impulse signals, detecting even very short pulses. It is also possible to monitor individual carriers around the clock. Real-time data can be stored in memory and later transferred to a PC, for example, to evaluate signal quality and bit error rate.
Ideal for field assistance applications, the IDA-3106 has a specially designed outdoor housing, is lightweight (less than 3 kg), the batteries can be changed without interrupting measurements, and the user interface is very comfortable; the device can be operated even with gloves.
