Brief description

The R&S^®EB500 monitoring receiver was specially developed for signal search, radiomonitoring, radio detection and spectrum monitoring in powerful, compact systems. Due to the receiver's compact size as well as its excellent performance and energy-saving design, it is the perfect tool for radiomonitoring applications. It performs ITU-compliant measurements and meets the requirements of security authorities and organizations. The receiver is ideal for both stationary and mobile/vehicular applications because it can be operated via the front panel or remotely controlled via LAN.
