YellowFin™ Mobile WiMAX analyzer is the world’s first truly portable calibrated, demodulating WiMAX test receiver. This handheld unit utilizes the Samsung Q1 Ultra tablet UMPC as an interface in conjunction with Berkeley’s precision receiver technology for complete spectrum analysis as well as WiMAX packet demodulation. The receiver sweeps the 2.0 - 5.9 GHz spectrums to within +1.5 dB accuracy. YELLOWFIN™ performs full spectrum analysis allowing RF engineers to see the whole wireless network picture. Features include power triggers, peak hold/search, markers and multiple waveform traces. WiMAX 802.16e packet analysis includes RSSI measurements, Cell ID & Segment information, multipath analysis and CINR (Carrier-to-Interference-plus-Noise-Ratios) on a preamble basis. The optional DF (Direction Finding) Antenna allows engineers to pinpoint sources of WiMAX interference, rogue base stations and even nearby hackers. An internal 12-channel/satellite GPS receiver allows for geo-coded site surveys and drive-studies using optional mapping software.
Tortoise MultiBand Stimulus Transmitter
Tortoise™ is a portable, rugged, high-power transmitter system composed of dual independent, transmitter modules giving the user freedom to transmit on any 2 unique frequency bands simultaneously without the need for expensive and bulky additional transmitters. Tortoise features two dynamically controlled Class A amplifiers for the cleanest signal output and VSWR protection. Tortoise features built-in thermal overheat protection circuity with quad cooling fans to ensure against overheating during operation. Remote adjustments include power level, channel or frequency assignment and transmit On/Off via USB, RS-232 and Ethernet from anywhere. An optional WiMAX modulator allows the Tortoise transmitter to simulate a fully functional 802.16e base station for the ultimate in deployment accuracy and precision.
BumbleBee Wi-MAX Spectrum Analyzer
BumbleBee-EX™ is a rugged, calibrated spectrum analyzer all-in-one system. The handheld receiver measures the popular wireless Wi-MAX frequencies between 2.0-4.0 GHz and 4.9-5.9 GHz. BumbleBee-EX allows users to scan, display and record multiple RF waveforms for network installation, coverage and interference analysis. The color, touch-screen allows field engineers to tap on points of interest in any waveform and "zoom" in for further analysis. Advanced spectrum analysis features include 3 waveform, peak hold, peak search and user selectable power triggers. BumbleBee-EX allows for realtime spectral analysis of many wireless standards including RFID, VoIP, 802.11b/a/g & Bluetooth as well as unidentified RF interference such as microwaves and cordless phones. BumbleBee-EX takes the power of sophisticated laboratory spectrum analyzers and puts it in user's hands.
Each Gator Transmitter is housed in a high impact ABS water-resistant case. It has a built-in agile frequency synthesizer, dynamically controlled power amplifier and a built-in modem and DTMF (touch-tone) decoding allowing remote control of all transmitter parameters via a phone line or cellular telephone. Remote adjustments include the power level, channel or frequency assignment, and transmit On/Off. All Gators feature a Class A amplifier for the purest and most stable signal output.
Forecaster is a GPS-based mapping tool with the use of the BVS Coyote and Gator. It consists of two parts: Projector and Analyzer. Forecaster allows Coyote users to plot and view coverage of wireless networks in table or graphical windows with the ability to create HTML reports of base stations/antennae coverage and RF overlap areas. KML overlap reports may also be generated allowing coverage to be viewed using popular programs such as GoogleEarth. Forecaster combines realtime Coyote measurements with GPS geo-coding accuracy.
Sieve RF Data Filtering PC Software
Sieve™ is a Windows XP application that generates 40 Lambda averaged data that was collected from Berkeley's Gator stimulus Class A transmitter and Coyote modular receiver combination. The transmitter/receiver/software package is being distributed to WiMAX engineers, technicians and installers interested in optimizing their 2.5 and 3.4 GHz networks. Sieve™ is able to generate 40 Lambda averaged data into ASCII files through high-speed, two-stage filtering of redundant data. This data is received on one or two different Coyote™ receiver modules that may be swapped out while still in the field. In addition, the software also allows creation of KML files to map measured data onto programs such as GoogleEarth™. When combined with powerful BVS transmitter and receiver combos, Sieve™ filtering software provides the best averaging options and reliability analysis in its class.
