Spectrum Analyzer OWON HSA015

Order the OWON HSA015 Portable Spectrum Analyzer for accurate RF analysis in the field

The OWON HSA015 spectrum analyzer is a compact instrument with a frequency range from 9 kHz to 1.5 GHz. The device allows you to tune antennas and diagnose interference. The built-in tracking generator (on the -TG model) turns it into a scalar network analyzer. The device is suitable for FPV pilots, radio amateurs and engineers.

1. Frequency range from 9 kHz to 1.5 GHz for any task.
2. DANL sensitivity up to -160 dBm for weak signals.
3. 8" IPS touch screen with automatic brightness.
4. Weight is only 2.5 kg for easy carrying in the field.
5. Operating time is 4–6 hours from the built-in lithium-ion battery.

How does a portable spectrum analyzer work?

The device receives a signal through a high-frequency input. The built-in processor builds a spectrogram and displays it on the screen. The waterfall function shows changes in the signal over time. The tracking generator creates a test signal to measure the characteristics of filters and antennas. The analyzer supports EMI pretests, modulation analysis and audio demodulation. Built-in GPS records coordinates for every measurement. You get a complete picture of the RF spectrum at any point.

Technical characteristics and functionality

The frequency range is 9 kHz – 1.5 GHz. The minimum resolution bandwidth (RBW) is 10 Hz. The noise level reaches -160 dBm. Full amplitude accuracy does not exceed 1.5 dB. The display has a diagonal of 8 inches and a resolution of 1024x768. The built-in battery lasts up to 6 hours. The weight of the device is 2.5 kg.

Model HSA015-TG is equipped with a tracking generator and GPS receiver. Interfaces: USB, LAN and microSD. The device supports modulation analysis and audio demodulation.
