AirSleuth-Pro
Full Spectrum Trace View
The RF signal strength data is plotted as a function of frequency.
AirSleuth-Pro is a PC-based, RF spectrum analyzer that operates in the 2.4 GHz range of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. In addition to spectrum analysis, integrated in the application software is a full-featured, WiFi Scanner -- also known as an 802.11 network discovery tool. The analyzer can be used to monitor wireless devices and RF interference that impact the performance, range and security of wireless networks. By combining 2.4 GHz spectrum analysis and 802.11 network discovery into one tool then you have the best of both worlds. No other instrument provides this broad range of data acquisition, analysis, reporting and display capability in a single tool -- regardless of cost.
AirSleuth is a PC-based, spectrum analyzer that operates in the 2.4 GHz range of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. It can be used to monitor wireless devices and RF interference that impact the performance, range and security of wireless networks. We have found the data it provides most useful during installation and trouble-shooting of 802.11b/g wireless networks. When AirSleuth is installed on a laptop computer it provides mobile, site survey information that facilitates optimal configuration of wireless networks and proper location of RF devices, and aids in identifying potential sources of interference. In addition to displaying results in real-time, AirSleuth includes a logging functionality that allows data to be recorded and later played-back for analysis. Also, AirSleuth generates reports in Adobe PDF format and can print snapshots of data traces from the screen.
AirSleuth offers 9 real-time diagnostic views of the RF data it captures -- including Full Spectrum, Differential Spectrum, Spectrum with Selected Channels, Heatmap/Waterfall Timecourse, Channel Spectrogram, Channel Timecourses, Channel Piechart, Differential Channels and Collective RF Timecourse. AirSleuth also includes a real-time calculation of “Best WiFi Channel” – i.e. the channel with the least interference. Employing multiple views of the data allows the user to gain a better understanding of the local, RF landscape in which their wireless network is operating. The AirSleuth analyzer includes two software modules integrated into one application -- one for 2.4 GHz spectrum analysis and a second for performing 802.11 network discovery. Armed with this knowledge the user can make better decisions setting-up, configuring and maintaining their wireless network so that it operates at optimal bandwidth. Also, if a wireless network is performing poorly then AirSleuth can aid in determining whether other wireless devices operating in the vicinity are the source of RF interference.
AirSleuth-Pro is available with either a PCMCIA or USB wireless device -- your choice. The PCMCIA version comes with a snap-on antenna that, when removed, exposes an MMCX connector. This can be used to attach an external antenna.The RF signal strength data is plotted as a function of frequency.
Used to view small (or large) changes in the RF landscape over time.
Provides ability to hide data from certain regions of the spectrum that you select, thereby enhancing those WiFi channels you are most interested in.
Displays signal strength (as a color) as a function of frequency as measured over the time period of one scan.
3D chart of WiFi(802.11) channels as a function of time.
Used for monitoring the WiFi(802.11) channels as a function of time.
Shows the percent of total RF activity in the 2.4 GHz range associated with each WiFi channel.
Plots RF data by WiFi channel rather than frequency -- used to view small (or large) changes in the RF landscape over time from a channel-centric perspective.
Used for monitoring the 2.4 GHz range in a general way and as a function of time. The signal strength values for all frequencies are summed and normalized as a single value for each a single time point.
A proprietary algorithm ranks the WiFi channels in real-time from least to most noisy.
Similar to a 3-D histogram -- shows how frequently certain signal strengths occur across the spectrum.
