Signalhound BB60C spectrum analyser and RF recorder

The BB60C spectrum analyser streams 140 MBps of digitised RF to a PC utilising USB 3.0, providing an instantaneous bandwidth of 27 MHz and sweep speeds of 24 GHz/s.

The analyser is said to have significantly improved performance compared to the BB60A. It has improved spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) by 20 dB, flattened the noise floor and band transitions by more than 8 dB and extended operating temperatures from -40 to +65ºC.

The BB60C also adds new functionality in the form of configurable I/Q streaming bandwidths which will be retroactively available on the BB60A.

Other features include: RF frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz; up to 24 GHz/s sweep speed (≥10 kHz RBW); wide dynamic range from -158 to +10 dBm; resolution bandwidths available from 10 Hz to 10 MHz; powered solely through USB, no external power supply needed; powerful digital signal processing happens on the PC; software and hardware included; digitised IF data at 80 million Sa/s; 27 MHz instantaneous bandwidth; compatible with Windows 7/8 64-bit operating systems; USB 3.0 communications providing 140 MBps sustained throughput to PC; measures under 9″ long.
