Aeroflex has announced the release of the new, lightweight 3500A 1 GHz Hand-held Radio Test Set. The 3500A improves upon the success of the Aeroflex 3500, the industry’s first 1 GHz handheld test set. With improved audio analysis and operation, the 3500A offers lighter weight, integrated audio test connections and a new microphone interface for easier operation.
With a new cast magnesium alloy case, the 3500A weighs almost one pound less than its predecessor the 3500. Weight is an important factor for engineers and technicians when performing radio tests in the field and the 3500A is the first fully functional 1 GHz radio test set to weigh less than eight pounds.
The 3500A includes testing capabilities for AM and FM radio systems including power measurements, RSSI, frequency error, FM deviation, AM modulation index, SINAD, distortion and AF level. Optionally, the 3500A supports a single-channel scope and a spectrum analyzer for extended testing. The 3500A is P25 ready for support of P25 testing as additional features are added, and is MIL-28800F Class II certified.
