Key Features
Handheld Platform for Field RF Work
SHA860A combines spectrum analysis, real-time spectrum analysis, cable/antenna test and network-analysis workflows in a portable battery-powered instrument for on-site RF troubleshooting.
3.6 GHz / 7.5 GHz Model Coverage
SHA861A covers 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz, while SHA862A extends coverage to 7.5 GHz for wider cellular, wireless, satellite IF and field-spectrum applications.
Real-time Spectrum Analysis
With up to 110 MHz real-time bandwidth and 3.51 μs 100% POI, the analyzer can capture short transients, burst activity and intermittent interference that ordinary swept measurements may miss.
5G NR and LTE OTA Measurement
Configurable OTA workflows support 5G NR and LTE FDD/TDD field measurements such as PCI, SSB, frequency error, channel power, ACPR and occupied bandwidth for base-station deployment checks.
Cable, Antenna and VNA Workflows
Cable/antenna testing supports return loss, VSWR, cable loss and distance-to-fault; the VNA option adds 1-path 2-port S11/S21 network analysis for deeper feedline and component verification.
Mapping, Trace Replay and Modulation Analysis
GNSS-based trace recording/playback, indoor/outdoor mapping, pulse profile, IQ acquisition and analog/digital modulation-analysis options make it suitable for field survey and fault isolation work.

Applications
Base-station Commissioning
Verify 5G NR and LTE OTA signal quality, power, bandwidth and cell parameters during deployment and acceptance checks.
Field Interference Hunting
Use real-time spectrum, spectrogram, density display and trace replay to capture transient or frequency-hopping interference.
Feedline and Antenna Maintenance
Measure VSWR, return loss, cable loss and distance-to-fault to isolate connector, cable and antenna problems.
Indoor / Outdoor Mapping
Use GNSS-based trace recording and map workflows to document coverage, weak-signal areas and high-interference zones.
Portable Spectrum and Network Test
Carry one instrument for spectrum measurements, IQ capture, source output and S11/S21 verification in field or lab work.
EMI and Pulse Investigation
Use EMI, pulse-profile and modulation-analysis workflows for field screening and fault isolation before deeper lab testing.
