Application Note: Tektronix Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer Supports Broad Range Of Project 25 Test Needs

By Darren McCarthy, Tektronix Inc.

In the last decade, new digital land mobile radio (LMR) communications systems have been developed to meet the growing communications needs of public safety. The performance tests defined for Project 25 LMRs require high quality test equipment to measure increasingly stringent operational parameters and to ensure that only compliant products reach the market. Tektronix has added support capability to its real-time spectrum analyzers to assist in testing these new digital standards and monitoring these networks.
