AUTOMATIC SIGNAL MONITORING
USING A
SPECTRUM ANALYZER RECEIVER SYSTEM
A spectrum analyzer is a broadband, extremely sensItIve, programable, swept-tuned,
superhetrodyne receiver with display capability. Because of these features, it is an excellent
receiver to analyze transmitted signals. This paper gives an overview of the hardware and
software which make up a Automatic Signal Monitoring Receiver (SIGMON) System for a
wide range of measurement applications. Further topics discussed are the measurement
capabilities of the SIGMON system for monitoring frequency bands, analyzing signals,
measuring signal parameters (amplitude, frequency, modulation type, pulse width, pulse
repetition frequency, power bandwidth etc.), performing statistical summaries, aid in
generating reports of measured data, and many other incorporated features.

AUTOMATIC SIGNAL MONITORING
WITH A
SPECTRUM ANALYZER RECEIVER SYSTEM
Today's presentation on "Automatic Signal Monitoring with a Spectrum Analyzer Receiver System" will
address the following questions: What application areas of signal monitoring can be addressed with a
spectrum analyzer? What are the limil~tions of a spectrum analyzer based Signal Monitoring Receiver
System? What are specific features of the system (hardware/software) that make it attractive to a user? We
will also cover any specific questions you may have.
