R5550
Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer
Compact, fanless, networked and remote deployable real-time spectrum analyzer

Reliable, High Speed, Uninterrupted Wireless Networks with the thinkRF R5550
The thinkRF R5550 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer is built on innovative and highly optimizable software-defined radio technologies that provide more flexibility, greater coverage, and increased functionality. Designed and built for spectrum monitoring and deployment applications, the thinkRF R5550 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer provides improved spectral performance in a lightweight, fanless, and portable form factor while enabling in-depth analysis of complex and wideband waveforms in challenging spectrum environments.
Monitor in more locations with greater versatility provided by a compact form factor and the ability to network for in-place or remote monitoring applications.
Detect complex waveforms with better performance and up to 27 GHz frequency range and 100 MHz instantaneous bandwidth for today’s monitoring applications.
Analyze new technology, like 5G, with additional capabilities through easily upgradable, software based technologies.
Easily used with any third-party spectrum analyzer to extend the performance up to 27 GHz range.
Wideband IQ option for up to 160 MHz RTBW (An external dual-channel digitizer with each channel sampling at 250 MSa/s is required for WBIQ variants).

Wide Frequency Range
The thinkRF R5550 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer supports frequency ranges from 9 kHz up to 8 GHz / 27 GHz which enables testing of modern systems including tests such as third-order intercept.
Networked & Remote Deployable
Monitor in more locations with networking capabilities purpose built for remote and in-place spectrum monitoring. Standard GigE interface and streaming rates of 360 Mbit/s make the thinkRF R5550 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer ideal for dispersed and continuous monitoring in any location.
