1.1 About this device
The Interference and
Direction Analyzer IDA - 3106
is a compact, portable system
for measuring
electromagnetic signals in the
frequency range 9 kHz to
6 GHz. As well as the
spectrum display with its
extremely fast measuring
speed, other optional
operating modes such as
Multi-Channel Power, Level
Meter and Time Domain
(Scope) allow sophisticated
analysis of the signals.
Together with the handle and
Narda directional antennas,
the IDA - 3106 is particularly
used for identifying and
localizing signal sources. The
bearings determined manually
using the Manual Bearing
function or automatically with
the Horizontal Scan function
can be directly superimposed
on an electronic map in
Direction Finding mode.
Triangulation can then be
used to determine the location
of the transmitter.
The IDA
- 3106 can be used
outdoors even under difficult
environmental conditions
thanks to its robust casing,
controls that can also be
operated when wearing
gloves, and rechargeable
batteries that can be hot
swapped.
