Universal Form-factor
AirMedic USB’s universal form-factor, gives users the flexibility of installing and using the product on Microsoft® Windows PCs or Apple MacBook Pro. The spectrum USB adapter has an internal antenna as well as an MMCX connector to connect the external omni-directional antenna included in the AirMedic USB package or the optionally purchased external directional antenna.
Wi–Fi Troubleshooting Made Easy
AirMedic USB provides clear visibility into the 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands and delivers the pinpoint resolution necessary to find and resolve interference and RF problems. Users can choose to view bands individually or leverage the “mixed mode” feature for complete coverage of all Wi-Fi bands. AirMedic USB is designed around a simple interface with one goal in mind – get problems fixed fast. Instead of navigating through multiple pages or pouring over endless decodes, AirMedic USB boils the network information down to its most core components and delivers the data in a single integrated view. Built-in “Easy Views” provide chart sets for troubleshooting the most common problems, or users can save their own customized views that are tailored to their troubleshooting methods.
Unmatched RF Spectrum Analysis
AirMedic USB provides visibility into the physical layer of the WLAN, to identify RF interference and problems in the environment that directly impact the performance of the network. Key RF spectrum graphs include:
Real-Time FFT
The FFT graph provides a real-time view into the RF energy in the environment with current, max, max hold and average RF signal levels.
Spectrum Density
The Spectrum Density graph provides a longer-term view into the network by displaying live information on the signals that have been common during the current capture session. This can be very helpful to identify infrequent transmitters.
Spectrogram
The Spectrogram graph provides a scrolling history of the RF environment and allows a visual understanding of the spectrum over time to see intermittent spikes or bursts of RF energy that may be causing WLAN network problems.
Duty Cycle
The Duty Cycle graph tells you just how often an interfering signal is present. A high duty cycle means an interferer is constantly transmitting and will most certainly cause problems on the affected channel.
Channel Power
The Channel Power graph shows the maximum and average power levels across all the channels in the selected radio band.
Channel Duty Cycle vs. Time Trending
This trending graph shows the average power in the channels that is above the noise floor over a specific period of time.
