Technical specifications
This technical specifications include the influence of probability distribution, measurement uncertainty and environmental factors on the instrument performance. It guarantees the performance under the following conditions.
- The instrument is ON and warmed up for 30 min
- The instrument internal reference signal is applied
Testing temperature is 23±5 ºC, unless other specific condition applied.
Typical value
Additional description does not cover all performance information of the product guarantee. Unless otherwise specified, the typical value refers to the indicator or technical specification with which more than 80% of products comply under 23 ± 5 ºC. The measurement uncertainty is excluded. A6 should be within the calibration period.
Nominal value
The nominal value refers to the characteristic description or design range. It is not tested or covered by the product. A6 should be within the calibration period.

BeiDou Navigation Satellite System is developed rapidly these years, however it still faces some problems now. One of the problem is signal interference, just like the similar like the GPS. One of GNSS station of BeiDou System found that their signal will be interfered at certain time everyday, so they invited Transcom Instruments to do Trouble Shooting for them. Trasncom Instruments set a simple test in the field, SpecMini was used as Spectrum Analyzer to do the interference location, A6 was used for recording IQ data, which will be used for further analytic. After sampling and inteference location, the interference source was found: One BTS belongs to one operator in China.
