Decimator Spectrum Analyzer

SED is now accepting orders and will be shipping the next generation Decimator D3 web-based spectrum analyzer by the end of February 2012. Decimator D3 builds on the success of the popular Decimator D2 products, providing an extended frequency range and increased measurement refresh rate. It also incorporates the Decimator Proxy software right onto the unit. D3 covers a range of 5 MHz to 3 GHz, making it ideal for use in satellite, cable, and wireless networks. As is the case for D2, the Decimator D3 will be available as a card (download specs) and a 4/8-Port Decimator D3 rack-mount unit (download specs), as well as a Portable Decimator.

For cable networks:

• Monitor upstream or downstream carriers
• Ideal for monitoring RF in the headend, hub or elsewhere in the cable network.

For satellite networks:

• Monitor uplink or downlink carriers at L-band or 70/140 MHz
• Monitor 10 MHz reference signals

For terrestrial wireless networks:

• Monitor forward or return path carriers
• Ideal for monitoring RF at the main transmission point or elsewhere in the network

SED’s Decimator L-band digital spectrum analyzer products provide market-leading performance at a low price. Accessed from a standard web browser, Decimator provides accurate and fast measurements. Either used standalone or integrated into your solution, Decimator is available as a card, rack-mount unit, or portable unit. Decimator is ideally suited for measurement of communications and broadcast carriers. Operated like a traditional spectrum analyzer, the Decimator’s browser-based user interface is intuitive, familiar, and useable right away with no training. Using the Remote Management Protocol, Decimator can be integrated into your network, RF system/unit, Satcom terminal, or RF monitoring/measurement system. Either standalone or integrated, the Decimator Proxy software allows multiple users to share the Decimator digital spectrum analyzers located on your network.

Decimator Integration

You can also integrate Decimator into an existing or newly developed monitoring or measurement system. In fact, SED uses Decimator in our Mon-A-Co® Integrated Carrier Monitoring System. Use Mon-A-Co® to schedule measurements and automate the control of RF equipment. Save operational effort by offloading your repetitive work tasks to Mon-A-Co® and Decimator.
