Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced an extremely cost-effective digital receiver for radio frequency (RF) signal monitoring. The Agilent N6841A RF Sensor is a software-defined, network-based receiver housed in a compact, weatherproof enclosure with a wide operating temperature range suitable for outdoor deployments. Multiple receivers may be combined to form RF sensor networks to improve detection, monitoring and geolocation of emitters in commercial, radio regulatory, security and defense applications.
Agilent’s N6841A monitors signals over a frequency range of 20 MHz to 6 GHz using a 14-bit ADC to accurately digitize signals with a 20 MHz information bandwidth. A 512 MB signal capture memory buffer follows the ADC and signal processing. Receivers may be tightly synchronized using the optional GPS receiver or via the network interface, providing both measurement synchronization and accurate time-stamping of measurement data. The network interface allows the sensors to be distributed within a building, throughout a city or across the world.

The Agilent N6841A RF Sensor is available now with delivery in June. Pricing starts at $13,351.
