Tektronix Detecting Drones Using a Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer

In situations where a drone is operating where it shouldn't, the potential ramifications can be catastrophic. As a result, organizations need real-time, accurate, simple to operate and cost-effective solutions for detecting drones flying in or near restricted airspace. In this application note, we'll discuss considerations when looking for a drone detection solution.

Automation Guide for CMT VNAs

CMT VNAs are USB-based and do not have built-in computers. There are a few benefits to having the VNA measurement module separate from the processing module. When they are separated, the user isn’t stuck with an obsolete built-in PC in a few years. It also means that the VNA can be smaller in size, making it more lightweight and portable.
