Prizm scanning receiver for 2G/3G

September 14, 2004

Comarco Wireless Test Solutions introduces the Seven.Five Prizm Scanning Receiver. With guaranteed accuracy and speeds of four to ten times better than other scanners' published specifications, it is ideal for:

-- RF RSSI mapping, RFI analysis, benchmarking, optimization
-- Prediction model tuning, real-time RF analysis
-- Baseband decoding
-- Harmonics, spurious emissions, antenna siting, coverage
-- CDMA IS-95/1X, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA, IS-136/iDEN

There are three plug-in scanner units available for the Prizm chassis that cover the ANSI, ITU and iDEN bands. All are plug-and-play interchangeable with the appropriate software license keys, managed by a single user interface, with dynamic load balancing, when multiple scanners are required. Although one scanner would satisfy the requirements of the typical user, two scanners may be installed in the Prizm chassis. When only one scanner is required, a battery may be added in the available slot making the Prizm a small and lightweight package suitable for portable use.

Comarco's Seven.Five System for testing, optimizing and benchmarking cellular infrastructure received an important upgrade, with the addition of the Prizm Scanning Receiver, notes Greg Maton, senior vice president of Comarco. "Fully software configurable, the Prizm can display several data and technology-specific monitors, along with a summary and a map monitor. All monitors are available and configurable in both real time and replay modes - facilitating analysis both in the field and in the office."
