The MESA is a portable, handheld RF receiver that detects known, unknown, illegal, disruptive, or interfering transmissions.

- Easy to set up and puts sweep data at your fingertips with user friendly navigation. Auto antenna recognition makes changing antennas a snap

- Full touchscreen control provides quick access to Spectrum, WiFi, Bluetooth, Mobile Bands, and SmartBars modes

- Portable, handheld unit can sweep target areas using a full selection of fixed, bracket mounted, and hand held antennas/probes

Principle of operation

MESA has the portability and operational features not found on other spectrum analyzers. It provides tools, specifications and design features for locating unknown signals throughout a wide frequency range up to 6 GHz (12 GHz with the Down Converter antenna).

Features

- MESA displays a full range of frequency data to 6GHz (12GHz with the Down Converter Antenna).

- Spectrum Analyzer: zoom, screen lock, frequency span, start/stop frequencies, resolution bandwidth, center frequency.

- SmartBars: displays new or increased RF energy in a bar graph.

- Mobile Bands: displays RF in specific bands (i.e. Wifi, GSM, etc.), includes new Jammer/Interference Detection feature with v 1.1.9 firmware update and current production models.

- WiFi: displays nearby access points and relative signal strength.

- Bluetooth: displays nearby pairing activity.

- Display Features: Persistence, Raster Waterfall, Spectral Power Histogram (RSSI), Peak Trace, Average Trace, Patent Pending Cached Peak.
