Willtek Communications has a new series of spectrum analysers in the 4GHz class enabling detailed component-level repair of mobile phones using handheld equipment.

This is the first portable instrument in the market up to 4GHz.

It combines conventional spectrum measurements with leading-edge technology and size.

With its small footprint and large display, the Willtek 9100 is an affordable test solution designed for various RF test applications, most significantly the repair of latest-technology mobile phones where the 9100 resolves constraints of similar-priced analysers.

With the 9100 Series handheld spectrum analysers, Willtek takes its RF experience from dedicated mobile phone testers for the design and repair of mobile phones to more general-purpose RF test equipment for various measurement applications, such as wireless local loop (WLL), wireless LAN and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measurements.

Willtek's wide range of mobile service testers establish if there is a fault and where it is on mobile handsets and devices.

The 9100 handheld spectrum analyser complements the current range and goes one step further by pinpointing the component needing alignment or exchange.

Using the 9100, technicians and engineers can check the reference frequency and local oscillator, verify the spectrum shape of defined signals and locate faulty components.

Multiple markers allow them easily measure the harmonics of a signal as well as spurious signals.

The 9100 goes beyond the typical 3GHz limit of spectrum analysers in this price range, supporting measurements from 100kHz up to 4GHz.

These are needed for the repair of modern mobile phones with the first local oscillator between 3.4 and 3.8GHz.

Cyrille Damany, CEO at Willtek Communications says: "Willtek's 9100 series delivers additional value to users by combining our long-established RF experience with customer and application knowledge.

This results in easy-to-use and affordable RF test solutions".

The first analyser of this series, the 9101, will be available in the first quarter of 2003.
