Saelig announces distribution agreement with Teledyne LeCroy
Saelig Company Inc. of Fairport, NY, has announced that it has been appointed an authorized distributor by Teledyne LeCroy, a manufacturer and supplier of oscilloscopes and serial-data solutions. This will make Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes, arbitrary function generators, and logic analyzers available to Saelig’s customer base of electronic design engineers, electronics manufacturers, defense contractors, and DoD, government, education, and individual end-users. Teledyne LeCroy is committed to working with Saelig in all key geographical markets to assist engineers and procurement professionals in choosing the best instrument for the tough product development challenges they face.
“Our partnership with Saelig contributes to our ongoing successful growth strategy,” stated Frank McCoubrey, Teledyne LeCroy’s Worldwide HSD partner sales manager. “We know that Saelig’s helpful technology team offers a wide-ranging expertise to help any engineer looking for the best test-and-measurement products anywhere, with their superior customer service, prompt delivery, and award-winning business principles.”
“Teledyne LeCroy is a welcome addition to our expansive selection of quality suppliers,” said Alan Lowne, Saelig’s founder and CEO. “Adding a respected name such as Teledyne LeCroy not only brings a top quality product to our customers, but allows us to maintain our commitment to providing and supporting the best products available.”
Real-time spectrum analyzer
In other news, Saelig announced the availability of the compact RTSA7500 real-time spectrum analyzer designed to analyze wireless signals in real-time (not progressively scanned). This is essential for seeing intermittent and frequency-hopped signals. The RTSA7500 has all the standard features of a sophisticated, expensive bench-top spectrum analyzer, but at lower cost since it uses the display and processing power of an attached PC. Frequency controls, marker functions for tracking specific frequencies, and multi-trace functionality are all included, as well as a real-time triggering for measuring complex data signals such as Wi-Fi and LTE. Sophisticated FPGA-based digital signal processing within the RTSA7500 enables the capture of elusive time-varying signals across an instantaneous bandwidth of up to 100 MHz.
The real-time analysis of the RTSA7500 combines patented, low-cost digital software-defined radio technology, open-source software, standard APIs, and a PC-controlled architecture to provide unparalleled performance in an economical instrument. And the widescreen view of a laptop or PC monitor enables enhanced viewing not available on instruments with built-in screens.
Monitoring dynamic and agile signals usually requires a large budget instrument, but the RTSA7500’s advanced real-time spectrum analysis performance comes at a price that is as affordable as an ordinary spectrum analyzer. It utilizes industry-leading APIs/standards (including NI LabView drivers) and open-source code to allow easy customization, remote control, and installation in test fixtures.
The RTSA7500 processes RF signals at a speed fast enough to detect any signals in a given captured bandwidth. Signals can be viewed in the frequency and time domains as well as power spectral density to enable analysis of signals that may be undetectable to the human eye. It also provides the capability to trigger on events, capture them, and record them for playback and subsequent deeper analysis. Another important and useful feature of the RTSA7500 is the ability to make measurements remotely via the Internet.
The Model RTSA7500 is available in four versions: 100 kHz to 8 GHz with 10 MHz RTBW, 100 kHz to 8 GHz with 100 MHz RTBW, 100 kHz to 18 GHz with 100 MHz RTBW, and 100 kHz to 27 GHz with 100 MHz RTBW.
Made by Berkeley Nucleonics, a leading manufacturer of precision electronic instrumentation for test, measurement, and nuclear research, the RTSA7500 real-time spectrum analyzer is available now from Saelig Co. Inc.
